All the points that OP mentioned, whether they are correct or not, are irrelavent.
The only factor that drives technology success is the people, aka the community. There are a lot of people on board of nodejs. This just creates more gravity and pulls more people toward it. Together, the community will carry the momentum that drives its success. If v8 is not server technology like OP said, there are enough open source developers to make its on fork.
