No, I agree completely. I backed DU but I`m done with that. It`s now their turn to prove that they are capable to deliver. No matter how much we like the project, keeping distance is always good.

Looks a like a case of the very common kickstarter thing of asking less then they needed just to hit a goal and get first money in and then try to get more money later. Can work and if you need a lot of money and have a high goal chances are its not going to reach the goal and then you get nothing, but its still a bit meh.
After No Man Sky, literally haven't bought any new game, not kickstarted anything, not funded anything and didn't spend a dime on a game. I don't think i'll ever trust developer again.
Exceptions: Diablo 4, Elite Dangerous - Atmospheric Flight season.
I look at DualUn. but I doubt it will work not because it can't but because it needs insane amount of clever coding and clever optimizations. I only saw 2 teams that pulled it off. Factorio developers who seem to be able to defy any laws and optimize insanely their game. Then ther is Tick Threading mod for minecraft that one guy made that made minecraft servers run 100-1000x faster (I blame Notch code).
Elite runs pretty damn good too but what Dual promises require some next level of technology (cell MMO tech) and few things that no game ever used (except tech demos).
Plus to combat drawcall troll we need proper DX12 engine that can make as many drawcalls as needed for insane amount of things that will probably be there.
