True, even a normal DCS warm-up mission will last for at least an hour or more. Comfort is one of the major concerns, and we are actually trying to address this with the new top strap, including collaboration with some third-party mod providers. To be honest, there isn't a device in terms of form factor, strong modularity, optional tracking, and so on for the VR market. It's a long journey.

yeah, I mean, at this point, there is 2 things that I value

weight, and cooling.

weight will need advances in materials and maybe technology to really bring down farther, and a focus on trade offs.

the cooling bit is where things can get weird, maybe something weird like say a Peltier or something that cools both the module, and the user (with use of fans to blow cool air?), or that laptop non moving part cooler deal? and of course this also comes with the trade off of how much weight is there and how much power delivery would add on (like for a Peltier roflmao)

Pimax has been the tech / res leader and I think that is cool in its own way, but after owning my own first gen Oculus and playing with vive and index and etc. I think I personally value comfort way more at this point esp for the games I want to play with VR.
