I know it was a challenge for Satoshi to stay anon even 15 years ago. I'm not convinced it's even possible today if the right group wants you exposed. And if it is possible, it'll probably take a lot more work than Satoshi had to put in.

I think what will ultimately be more important is distributed development. By that I mean developers living in many jurisdictions around the world. And yes, being anon to the extent they can will only help the mission.
