Fascinating stuff, thanks! A recent workshop with recorded talks on such cells https://www.jcvi.org/events/minimal-cell-workshop
I am wondering if other researchers can procure or produce these cells or these are rather a know-how of JCVI?

You can get the cells as a researcher, but basically forget about it for a commercial user or hobbyist. They’re also annoying as hell to grow. I’m trying to synthesize it from scratch for the precise reason of freeing it from MTAs (material transfer agreements)
