I don't want to get into analysis paralysis on this, but I think it makes more sense to have proactive multi-tenancy features, rather than trying to press the existing infrastructure into service for it. This means it's a couple of major versions out at a minimum, which is annoying for existing users who want multi-tenancy based on databases. But companies like Heroku have been making it (somewhat imperfectly) work for over a decade now, so it's not impossible.
