I like the concept, my two concerns (if you care):
It looks like while you are drawing from the pouch you are flagging the wrist/hand you used to open it. Could be a bad time if the adrenaline is running or you have a bit of trouble getting the pistol out of the holster.
How well does this work when you only have one free hand? Or you need to draw offhanded? I've drawn from my iwb under duress three times, and two of those the threat was in physical contact with me.
Not trying to drag you down, just food for thought from some dude on the internet. Keep on keeping on
I don't think so but this is a practice/training issue. This video was taken two days after I finished this version with the "pop-out" functionality.
Now for the really good news, off-hand and one-hand.
The middle rope that connects the three layers (what I've named "the Van Vogt rope") isn't a bungee. So once you yank it open, it stays open. On a strong-hand-only draw you pop it open and grab the grip - it's as fast as the same thing AIWB.
Off hand, same thing, except you have to roll your hand around to do the grab. As far as I can tell it's faster than AIWB doing the same thing.
Now let's say you break or otherwise temporarily damage your strong hand. You can flip the kydex core inside the shell and turn it fully into a left hand rig if it started as a righty, or vice versa, and flip it back when you heal.
Close range, you have an interesting option: yank the grab handle straight up. This keeps the gun hidden and covered until you grab grip, draw and fire.

Let's start with flagging/sweeping.
