Great video! Thanks for sharing.
My main guitar is a Martin OMC-16OGTE and it has a richlite fingerboard.
I also have a 50 year old Martin D28 with an ebony fingerboard and a new Hill Classical Guitar also with an Ebony fingerboard.
I play these guitars daily and I can say I don’t ever think about the fingerboard. As far as I can tell the fingerboard material makes no difference.
I have had refret jobs on both of the Martin guitars. No issues with either job and no comments or issues from the repair shop. Both fingerboards have worn very well and are durable. Of course one is 50 years old and the other is 10 years old but they both are in great shape.
If I make myself pay attention to the fingerboards I can tell a difference. The richlite board feels just a little bit smoother to my fingers. I like that feel. But when buying another guitar I can assure you I will not even pay attention to the fingerboard material.
