Although for a different controller, we see encouraging ethernet figures for a RAM expanded QL without (S)GC here:

So I think a straightforward RAM expansion with CP2200 ethernet would be something that can be finished, and also offers good value.
Not every retro QLer can/will get a (S)GC, but almost everybody needs RAM expansion, e.g. to decently use QL-SD.
So if that RAM expansion comes with an extra goodie, but not much higher costs, I'm sure it will sell well. I'd definitely buy one.
You already have existing circuitry for both the CP2200 and RAM. That's a good starting point. To reduce risk of not finishing the card, you could omit optimizing it for (S)GC.
