> Isn't this a bit premature, given that the privacy technology used in Monero is still apparently in its infancy, and there are people already making claims about being able to track it, and Monero planning to do further upgrades to make it more difficult/impossible?
No. The general framework of thinking is that the success of bitcoin has shown that there's enough space for everyone, from 0 privacy to 100% privacy. I'm thinking from bitcoin -> grin -> monero.
Lolnero is not trying to be the best private coin out there, it can excel somewhere else. Like, for example, being light weight to sync, and less legacy code to maintain, and possibly a better implementation in a safer language. All these do not require any hardforks.
> Will Lolnero hardfork to follow Monero privacy upgrades, just not PoW stuff?
It will not follow monero's future upgrades, it is likely the path for wownero, and I'm really looking forward to see the success of both

By any chance, are you planning to at least create a website for this project?
I know you are not in a hurry as you don't have premine and not running an ICO.
But having your own webpage is a must for a project that have long-term goals here in crypto.
What exactly is your goal for this project? Couple of months or 6 months from now at least.
A roadman to follow is the least to look forward to what will happen to the project.
They are probably testing whether it could also get followers before they decide to get serious. Wownero became serious and eventually had a few exchanges adding it. They do have the gitlab though. Adding it on tradeogre will be the start of it.
