Taking 18 months to release it might cause you to waste a lot of valuable time with features/requirements that does not deliver any real value to your customer, and the competitors can gain this space delivering a much less complete product, with less quality, but with the right features because of MVP concepts.
Not teasing in any way, but just 2 cents to consider, as I see a LOT of issues with the MVP approach.
It might be a good start at least for topics to look into before anything else.

It's nice to have improvements on website apps like this, but the risk is not worth it.
