I've been lurking in the shadows for a little while reading the discussion going on here. There are a lot of good points, there are some over sights, and there are some concerns I think that are unwarranted. I guess I'll throw my 2 sats into the ring. I'm going to do a quick rundown here (in no particular order).
Multipool donation option would be a good idea, only if its voluntary. Shouldn't force miners to do this. Unfortunately that also means there will be fewer donations. Any little bit helps so this should be considered.
For Early buyers this is true. I wish they would offer more donations but it is not happening. On the other hand, there will be many investors like myself. I have nearly 3 btc invested. I have sold but unfortunately I didn't buy really early and I've bought as the price has gone up. I have a BE of 75k. When the coin reaches its it's true potential in market cap, I'd be willing to donate a lot to the development. Right now though we are slowly drifting in the wrong direction. We took a hit from the BTC dip as a few investors pulled some of their BTC out and now I think other investors are getting hesitant because of these funding talks. Funding is always a very hard thing to get.
People are worried about a new coin taking away from the Fibre momentum. I do not think this should be a true concern. There are some awesome things going on now and planned for the future. There is no reason the 2 coins can not coexist. There are some smaller investors that will not put a lot of funds into a coin that is really high per cost of coin. They would rather invest in a coin that is 1000sats instead of a coin that is 100,000sats. Having FibreLite could bring in a new set of investors that Fibre currently is not seeing.
I think the key to having 2 coins work together successfully will be finding a way for the coins to work together but still function differently. Ideas...
If possible, use both coins in 1 wallet.
Let Fibre run anonymously but FiberLite can only run on the public network.
Possibly integrate an automatic trade engine so someone with fibrelite that wants to make an annon transaction can choose that option and coins can be automatically convereted.
Could also integrate a stand alone trade engine within the wallet so Fibre and be traded on an exchange for FibreLite and vice versa
Both coins can be used in apps.
Allow one coin to have a benefit that the other coin does not within each app.
I think you get the point. Im sure the developers can suggest other things since they know more about whats ahead. There needs to be things that set the coins apart and other things that tie the coins together. Successfully doing this will ensure both coins are a long term success.
It would also be good for the devs to be clear about what things will continue and what things will be on hold until funds are raised. I think investors are a little worried right now and the current market value shows this. I gotta go to work. Be back later and I'll add some other feedback.

Regarding the multipool, I believe to take 10-20% is quite unfair to the miners, especially after 2 months when we haven't recieved enough to pay for block cypher. We know investors have made a large profit but are still not willing to donate, just look at the donation address. Also as you know this Fibre team won't be slowing down and 2 months maybe more is to long for us to wait for block cypher donation to be completed.

Great post Kuriso!!
You make many valid points.
I also like your suggestions around keeping each coin relatively unique. FibreLite being a none anon currency while Fibre has all the dark features. This has not been explored and is a great suggestion.
Also Block Cypher will allow us to create multi coin applications! So having FibreLite and Fibre in the same wallet would not be hard to achieve. Neither would an exchange from Fibre to FibreLite and vise versa.
is way too early. The market cap has to be larger before these more grandiose plans can be considered.
