My main concerns are:
a) Does the PCB support 5 pin switches?
b) Are the stabilizers screw in or plate mounted? Will I be able to replace them or modify if there is rattle?
c) Does the board need to be modified w/ dampening material if it sounds hollow?
Not sure if I forgot any other concerns, but for the price... I'll be more than happy to modify the board if needed.

Copying my reply to your question here too, incase people are looking for quick answers:
a) Yes, it does support 5 pin switches
b) The stabs are plate mount, and are replaceable
c) Most likely a steel plate board, it would benefit from dampening material

There is a photo on their product page where you can see under the switch

5 pin switches supported, I've posted a link to the product page in the discussions, and there is a photo on their site with a clear view of the pcb under a switch.

IronSunsetscalesAwesome, thanks for this - I shared it to some people on GeekHack that were looking for options for a 1800 layout board.

DarthbagginsYou're welcome! There aren't a whole lot of 1800 layout boards out in the wild, let alone hotswap boards. A shame it's not a programmable board, other than that, it looks promising.

It's not in the feature list, so it's safe to assume it doesn't support QMK, nor VIA.

I have what might be a silly question. Is the file provided in the gdoc link only if the user wants to do something fancy with RGB and/or macros? IE: without that .exe file would this keyboard work with the basic system drivers? (I'm looking for something for work, which means no install permissions...)

The board works fine without the software, there is a list of hotkeys that might be useful

Keycaps are not shine trough, as you can see on picture #4. The price on the page is the final price for the board, minus shipping.
