But aside from that Liberapay and Ko-fi seem to work fine for a ton of projects.. this is assuming the project maintainers(s) are able to set up Stripe to receive the donation money afterwards.

Stripe and PayPal are both used by Liberapay as their payment processor, both of which have a track record of holding funds and blocking accounts without any due process or right of dispute.

AFAIK ko-fi uses Stripe.

Paying for food using crypto, let alone picking the "right" one seems like another dead end.

Ko-fi also uses Stripe or PayPal, it's all PayPals all the way down.

Crypto is another beast. It would be a superior choice if stable coins built on with privacy in mind, such as monero where popular. But the fact is different, there isn't a clear consensus as to what currency is for what purpose. There is also other issues, but oh well.
