No, I’m not asking Storj to hand over a customer list. Storj publicly showcases plenty of its customers itself. And even without such a list, an open letter could be published publicly and distributed through press releases, industry media, crypto outlets, and similar channels.
An open letter would not be the intended next step, but a serious escalation if further cuts created a realistic risk of many SNOs leaving at once. At that point, customers deserve to know if the infrastructure holding their data may be materially affected.
In fact, one reason this hasn’t escalated already is that some of us — proudly including me — have actively argued against a coordinated exit. Not everyone would care about the consequences for customer data and simply say, “Storj caused it.” I do care — which is exactly why I’m looking for alternatives before things ever get that far.

I don’t think “little chance of surviving Chapter 11” really follows from what we know so far.
Chapter 11 is specifically a restructuring process intended to let the company continue operating while legacy liabilities are resolved. Storj itself says that is exactly what they are doing, with continued backing from Inveniam.
Of course it can still fail — but if the operating business performs well and the restructuring succeeds, Chapter 11 may actually leave Storj in a much healthier position afterward. That’s precisely why I don’t think adding unnecessary network risk now should be treated as irrelevant.
