I cannot find much user information or reviews on this arm.

Any opinions?

Things to watch out for?

Is this too low mass to set up a Koetsu or an Airtight Opus?

I have this tonearm with a Clearaudio Master Innovation table. My understanding is that the tonearm (the small arm that the cartridge is attached to) is very lightweight (carbon fiber) so that it is as minimal as possible. More of a vestigial tonearm.

I use it with the Goldfinger Statement cartridge, which is 15 grams. Seems that this tonearm was made for this cartridge.

Bass is quick, supple, and has rich timbres. Soundstaging is deep, tall, wide, immersive.

I can't get enough of it. I had the same cartridge on an SME V arm with an Avid/Acutus table, this is markedly different - in a good way (to my ears).

Not many reviews out there of the tonearm as you noted. It was reviewed with the table in TAS.
