Repeating myself again, just here in my small home country of Norway, there are (at least) four examples of such IXPs: BIX, SIX, TIX and TRDIX.

https://www.nix.no/who-is-connected/ (scroll down to the bottom table).

They have been around for a long time, so I'd assume they are «viable».

They are run by the same organisation who runs NIX, so it's not «some hobby effort».
