Yeah, I think the real dealbreaker for anyone using roytam1's tree for anything besides XP is probably going to be realizing how out of date NSS is in there. Like, I can't really fault them for not testing non-Windows... that's not the purpose of the fork, and expecting roytam1 to take time to document that fact and remove all the other operating systems would be unreasonable. I'm not even on their side and I wouldn't be that harsh or petty. But... well, that NSS version is probably the number 1 red flag here. Honestly, I think the reason he can get away with it is simply because anyone running XP today probably doesn't need or want security updates. And more generally, people on the MSFN forums don't believe in security updates even if they run newer versions of Windows, so they don't mind running his fork on Windows 11 to show solidarity with XP users (or to spite us, not sure which it is). But yeah... most people on modern Windows or another OS have no reason to use this version of the codebase.
