IMO, one of the keys for successful seasteads will be to make them at least as comfortable as land based homes.
As any sailor will tell you, traditional marine heads break down often, and require frequent pump outs. (While seasteads far out in the ocean can safely dump biowaste overboard, if a seastead is close to shore, the neighbors are unlikely to look kindly on any vessel dumping unprocessed raw sewage into their water.)
Dry composting toilets are available, and work reasonably well, but they too have to be emptied often.
Vermi-composting toilets, in combination with an on-board garden bed offer a relatively low cost method of processing waste so that it does not need to be regularly removed.
