Like the concept, love the freedom but hate the grinding. I do hope you will consider giving the people on itchio a chance to buy the unlocked Patreon version on this website. For example you could give us two versions, one that is free but does not have all the goodies and content, and one you need to pay for with each new release for a certain amount and get all the available content in that build. I would buy that in a heart beat. Just an idea. Personally I refuse to give Patreon money.
