I think your approach to monetizing towards companies is great and you should totally do that. As someone that works with an RMM everyday and I've tried nearly all the big box ones. They all suck. So seeing something new in this space is great. Especially if it works.
I think restricting the home lab level to 1-3 sites could be a viable path? Maybe even license agreement stating not to be used for business without subscription (you might already do this, I didn't read the license)? I'd expect that to be hard to enforce though.
I did read a bit about the self compiling and think that's a good idea and totally could have signed up with an alias email. But for me, when I want to test something I want it to be a quick docker/k3s deploy. Could you publish your docker containers for home lab, maybe restricting bare metal installs to a license would deter companies from installing due to most in house IT wanting things on VMs or bare metal.
