I think your concerns are valid, and in fact probably true, BUT I don't think that they will lead to bad outcomes.
1) Poor Dust gameplay led to horrible retention rates. Gameplay is the cornerstone of any game. Its the reason Dust failed. Rattati also recently mentioned that what they were currently doing was taking our feedback and making what game play they had and giving it New Eden and Dust flavor. I think that it is best to give the benefit of the doubt this early on.
2) Given the failure of Dust, I can imagine that they may be risk adverse at first. Particularly the people above Rattati who seem to have less attachment to the game. That being said, Rattati did a great job of proving the viability of Dust such as it was from a business perspective, which is a major boone. I believe that once Nova is able to prove itself, the fact it is on PC and can have test servers etc. will enable it to take risks and grow after release.
3) I think that while those above Rattati may have half hearted perspectives towards Nova that Rattati, LogicLoop, Frame, and Logibro are all heavily invested in the future of Nova. I think that is what is very important. Although I do still think the greatest concern is the upper management of CCP. If Nova gets f*cked, it won't be because of the people directly involved with the game.

Even though I just play on consoles, I think that Nova being on PC right now is still the best step forward.
There is much more freedom for CCP to work with, and they already have PC development down pat, not to mention an established fan base.
I very much hope that Nova comes to consoles, and I think there are a lot of good business reasons to do so, including increasing the size of their audience significantly. I just think that the best way of getting to that point is for Nova to be on PC at this stage of development.
