I'm not politically or economically involved, but having read the Ark research paper (Ark: A UTXO-based Transaction Batching Protocol by Marco Argentieri, Zeta Avarikioti, Andrew Camilleri, Pim Keer, and Matteo Maffe) I found it rather sane, but I'm not an bitcoin expert, and also cannot vouch for the congruence between that paper and Arklabs's implementation. I have since then also seen examinations and projections of quantities related to the questions posed. Haven't really bookmarked those as I mostly looked at it motivated by curiosity. Running an ASP is not something I aim for yet. But finding insight-giving analyses ought be doable.
