The primary challenge with building local first software is the sync layer. The current 3rd party offerings are not mature. And people have been working on these for a few years. Electric SQL comes to mind.

As a local-first developer, I'd say the biggest challenge is p2p. Or more specifically, NAT traversal and the need of a TURN server.
