Is it widely used? Can you get staff with a couple years experience using ledger? Will accounting staff be productive using the interface? Does it cope well with multiple simultaneous users? Is it compatible with other software? Can you get local support? Can you export/import to other packages? Are the fringe case glitches known?
All these things matter with finance software, even for fairly small operations.
Again - thats IT/HN mindset. Who is going to train the accountants to deal with git conflicts? Or are you just going to employ and IT guy that babysits the VCS when you could just spend $100 more to get an accounting package with built in networking? This is all about how this will be practically done in a business context, not whether a hn hacker can throw together a clever hacked solution.
