So, I dunno if this is helpful to anyone, but if you haven't been keeping track of the server news...
Currently the general public has access to the i24 beta source code (the last official Paragon Studios code), and the compiled binaries for i25 (Leandro's private server). The general public does not have the i25 source code, however.
This means that anyone can immediately download and spin up i25 and get it working locally, though people are still figuring out all the ins and outs of the full server setup - getting it fully deployed is still a bit of a challenge.
The currently operational public-private server project, Homecoming/Torchbearer, is an i25 server.
At the same time, people are hoping to get an i24-based server operational, for various reasons. Some are political (i25 is SCORE-associated and has all those balance changes), but many are simply practical (people are working with the i24 source code, after all). The hypothetical server run by the largest City of Heroes discord will likely be i24-based, at this stage.
Spud has been looking at i24 code own his own time, but is not part of any larger coding project.
i25 servers open to large numbers of people will be clunky and expensive as they're running 2012-style, wide rather than tall implementation, needing lots of hardware. The hope is i24 servers will be more streamlined and less costly or resource intensive.
