Giant systems make d-scan useless as a warning system.
Not requiring the site to be scanned down makes d-scan useless as a warning system.
It actually makes it easier. Keep scanning at max range, and if anything pops up, there's a very, very high chance they're after you. Warp out and safe up until the threat passes. If they're using cloakies, that's when you put the Venture to use. If you lose a Venture, it's replaced 10x with a single load of ore.

No place to unload ore. All the logistics of mining become much more difficult, time consuming, and riskier (read: less profitable).
I think, and hope, that Thera will basically become its own little ecosystem. Due to a significantly-greater difficult with logistics, industry will (I hope) be much more common inside. Miners can sell to industrialists inside the hole, who sell in turn to the PvP'ers. That's my personal hope, at least.

The whole thing is more risk and less reward than the same activity in nullsec. If I want to nomad mine, why would I do it in these systems? I can do the same thing in nullsec (and I'm way more likely to have a nullsec connection), but have the option to set up a POS as a temporary base and the comfort of local chat showing me every threat in the system. These sites are a complete waste of server memory.
Not everyone plays for chance of pure ISK profit. For some, it's the thrill of the chase and evading the predators. Others, it's hunting this exact type. Some people actually enjoy a solid challenge, as opposed to having the near-perfect security vigilance and a good intel channel provide.

And I like the idea of Thera, but if CCP wants it to be busy it's not going to happen as a 0.0 system. It's just going to be filled with small gang pvp campers sitting on every station and wormhole, using interdictors and T3s to get easy kills. It'll probably have a high-sec exit near a hub pretty frequently if it's so connected to k-space, and it won't be worth the risk of moving in any significant quantity of items to sell. CCP has basically crossed Mos Eisley with Brigadoon, and expects it to be a bustling metropolis. Yeah, that'll happen. Of course, given the vast emptiness of nullsec, it might still be the most populous 0.0 system.
Thera isn't nulsec, it's a wormhole. From my first looks at it, it looks like it could easily support its own little ecosystem. Regarding the issue with T3's, I'm hoping that will be addressed during the T3 rebalance. We'll see what happens then, I suppose, but I'm looking forward to Thera in the interim.

Then it's a floating high-sec island that could be a viable market hub for all of nullsec and might actually have a significant impact on the game. As it's described, it sounds more like a PvP arena that's hard to get to.
If Thera were a 0.5, it would be Hek. We already have Hek. And it's really rather quite uninteresting. No, thank you.
