I don't know, I think we could make it work if enough people express
interest. I've seen lessons in a few different languages, and Duolingo's
lessons seem pretty formulaic. I imagine they have some sort of template
for planning lesson content and coding the backend stuff.

I'm sure this will still require some nontrivial effort, but I think we can
do it. The first step is probably to find some people whose Lojban is
strong enough that they could help contribute to the lessons.
