The whole problem with the original project, and the reason why it ends up at The ASF is that the current developers (i.e. the facebook devs) are *not* active, not responsive and not prone to open development. I'd argue that this is a *serious* risk for incubation. This is not something to take lightly IMO. The fact that this is a risk should be reflected in the proposal, but might not be of influence on the actual votes. The fact that you acknowledge the risk of becoming a fork, or having to continue without the original developers will help the Incubator folks and more specifically your mentors in providing guidance into becoming an open, healthy community.
