I am part of a community effort to buy a PA for band use.
Being 2018 we will want remote mixing. (Where a network take the place
of a snake).
I am nervous about buying gear that Apple or Microsoft will deprecate.
Is there any body making remote mixers with open APIs that if they are
abandoned by our corporate overlords will still be useful? Any
experience building alternative controllers for remote mixers?

"network take the place of a snake"
there are two functions associated with a mixer that you might use the
network for:
(1) control of the mixer
(2) distribution of actual audio signal (in digital form)
which one are you thinking about? both?
what type of network? wifi might work for (1), but is almost certainly way
too unreliable for (2) in most live settings.

That is correct. However, if the mixer is controlable via wifi, the mixer
itself can sit on stage which will also do away with a snake. This setup
does not allow monitoring or recording at any other place than at the
stage though. That is no headphones at the back of the hall unless you
use icecast or something and accept 500ms latency or so.

Yes. The Behringer/Midas X32/M32 family of mixers is responsive to the
openly-documented OSC protocol. I have owned an X32Rack for three years, and
happily prefer to control it with a 3rd party, independently developed Android
App called 'Mixing Station' rather than the Windows, OSX and iOS apps that the
manufacturer provides.
Apparently, I'm not alone in my opinion, and the manufacturer took notice. A
while ago, they introduced another line of smaller mixers, dubbed 'X Air', and
for them, they included an android 'official' app on their website. Not
surprisingly, it looks and feels more like the X32 Mixing station than any
version of X32Edit for Win, iOS, or OSX. I suspect they 'adopted' the developer
and contracted him to do the Xair version...
Last time I looked, the X32 official website even mentions the existence of
Mixing Station, and refers Android users to find it on the Play store.

Two years ago, I picked up an inexpensive (US$180 Demo unit) wireless in-ear
monitor rig, which I installed in my mixer rack and wired to the controlroom
outputs, so now I can 'solo' and monitor any input from anywhere.

Hello worik,
you can find 2 Mixingstation apps for the X32/M32 family in the Google
Play store, a free one and a "pro" version which will cost something.
With the "Pro" version you can layout customizable layers and such.

On the Google Play store. There is both a free and inexpensive 'pro' version.
