This plugin currently gives 500 errors and can lose data. I disabled it after such an event. Sorry I can’t report anything more now. Only that it could not be disabled once enabled.
I don’t think it has had a refresh after the extensive composer updates over the past year.
Personally, I’d love to see it get some love as it would be very nice to stay in Discourse for collaborative editing.

Does it also give errors and lose data when you are in the markdown editor, or is it just in the richtext editor?
There are a handful of plugins that will not work in the richtext editor, and this appears to be one of them.
Edit: I just installed it to try it out and am not able to repro, even using the richtext editor. I was not attempting to edit together with another user, but I was able to enable shared edits and edit the post, and see the changes appearing in real time. What are the repro steps to getting 500 errors and losing data?

The OT library we use is pretty rough, it usually works fine but sometimes when documents get long there are pathological cases.
The plan is to shift to a CRDT based implementation, though I do not have a timeline yet.
