I'm also curious if Mozilla is building in automatic updates in all of this software from the ground-up, seeing as how that appears to be the fundamental weakness of everything related to the IoT.

The current prototypes of Project Link are developed in Rust and tested on a RPi. However, we have not decided of a specific hardware platform and there are even chances that this will remain cross-platform – I'm currently running prototypes on my laptop.
In the current state of things, yes, the software is designed to act as a proxy between connected devices and connected devices and your access point.
I can't speak for other projects, but we definitely intend to have an update mechanism. This is very much not finalized yet, so any suggestion you have (currently, as a detailed blog post – once we are better organized, as a RFC) would be useful.
