Your suggested language is now (mostly) the Trade-Offs text.

I've moved some of what was previously in Trade-Offs up to the Source

This dependency also introduces the risk that fixes could override or conflict with other parts of the site???s code, so additional care must be taken to check both accessibility and the original site???s functionality prior to updates. In addition, sustainability becomes a challenge because post-source fixes are always reliant on the underlying source; when the source changes, due diligence is required to ensure that the post-source remediation remains effective and does not fail or create new accessibility barriers.
