For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.
