I fear we don't have the hashing power or the node count to withstand the not-so-tender attentions of a state actor that might follow upon such a scenario. What's your opinion?

Hashing power, price, perceived value, demand, utility, and node counts all are correlated. Every time one of those elements moves up, it drags the rest of them up too - the reverse is also possible but much harder to drag back down as time goes on.

There are some very powerful game theory elements that have not been fully realized with regards to pure proof-of-work coins.
