I for example have been donation driven since day 1, the only time I've had trouble is when I started losing people to QP.
On the subject of Pinion though, I want to point out that Valve uses Pinion in Left 4 Dead, they were used in CS:GO, and they have a special account on the steam forums. Valve let Pinion exist and grow, letting Communities take the blame.
