Thanks for taking the time to post that. Many of those statements are surprising given how well designed Qubes looks on the surface. I wish more people nitpicked projects like this. Please consider trying Qubes 3.1 out and posting a review. I'd love to read it.

I'm down to a few pieces of hardware and wary of doing anything heavyweight with them. I do want to try it out esp it's usability and such. What's resource usage like for it on single or dual core hardware?

The minimum requirements are pretty low: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/system-requirements/

I've only used it on mid-high end systems though. You should easily be able to launch a few small VMs (each AppVM is tunable) on a dual core machine with 4 GB of RAM though.
