MSDF seems like a great choice, depending on your use-case. Given that we don't need to draw text at multiple scales, it doesn't seem to provide much benefit for us over caching rasterized glyphs provided by Core Text. (Copying a rasterized glyph is certainly faster than evaluating an SDF.)

Using Core Text also means our text looks the same as it does in other applications, which avoids bug reports from users like "text in Warp looks different than in iTerm". :)
