A rack unit would be very cool, particularly considering my fabled "Super Rig" concept - which was a Helix Rack + Axe FX III + Mark Five amp, with either one unit in the FX loop and one unit in the front, or both digitally connected together via SPDIF and then the whole thing in 4-cable-method; with the Axe3 slaved to the Helix via midi program changes or control changes.
Massively overkill, but would be amazerocks!!
On balance, if I had the choice, I'd go floor unit as a standalone thing. But racks do appeal as well.

A 1u rack display? We must have VERY different impressions of the size of 1u, unless you are talking about just a couple lines of text.
I 100% believe the key to a rack unit being viable is a completely remote user interface, touch screen, encoders, switches buttons etc all NOT on the device in the rack.

IMO a rack unit would be better served with a port to optionally connect an external touchscreen/control device or you make a solid mobile editor. I can’t see a world where even the 2u footprint has a worthwhile touchscreen.

I don’t remember if anyone mentioned it, but since it has wifi it seems like there’s the possibility of a browser-based editor that would do exactly that.

I think that might be a little bit too big unless they can knock the dimensions down by about 20%.
