Iam sure our users would want to train the filter in some cases.
use cases for different types of content anime vs movies with actors for
example likely benefit from seperate training sets.

The training code could be seperate from the filter

Also another issue is the space requirements that result out of the training.
This was an issue with NNEDI previously IIRC

How do these perform in relation to the latest NN based solutions ?

Also i think its a great project, you should definitly mentor this if it
interrests you

Awnsering whenever a program halts or runs forever is
On a turing machine, in general impossible (turings halting problem).
On any real computer, always possible as a real computer has a finite number
of states N, and will either halt in less than N cycles or never halt.
