One of these problems is pragmatic, we don't have enough good
libraries equipped with tools (tactics, examples, documentation,
etc..) to help in teaching (e.g.,) an undergrad class. This can
potentially be fixed, but I agree that a real challenge is being able
to construct a comprehensible and usable theory (and also nontrivial:
a book / set of examples to go along with it) such that you can use it
in an instructional environment.

I agree, and this is what I've pointed a few students toward working on. I think it's the primary challenge for using Coq in an introductory discrete math class, but I also think it's doable.
