I didn't know this existed. It looks like a good start for an open source product that could end up competing with Business Objects, QlikView, PowerBI etc.
Will follow with interest. Might even contribute.

"The V9 beta is stable. It’s been in production on app.redash.io for more than six months."
That was last year. The commit activity is more important than the releases. Main branch works fine for us.
If you're an analyst looking for more control and don't foresee business users "self-serving", a tool like Superset has more breadth and allows for greater customization and "wow" factor.
I much prefer Metabase, and so have my non-technical business users that use it daily to pull data. If you design your reports well, a huge amount of value can be extracted with simple filter/group/aggregate pivot table mechanics.
Given the lack of quality I've seen in certain other big tech company viz tooling, I'm not sure Airbnb will be able to make Superset competitive either.
My (somewhat shallow) impressions of tableau is that it was built as an excel 2.0. Including all the bells and whistles. But it was not really tailored to our use-case of visualizing SQL data (without all the bells and whistles).
We had some requirements that does not seem to be supported in superset though. The filters implementation is horrible as mentioned, and the killer feature is to be able to group by a {{variable in a dropdown}}.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're proposing.
