I have only started looking into Cosmos because Cronos from Crypto.org is compatible. I'm interested in exploring more as I have been using Cronos DeFi for borrowing against my holdings.
I agree that HIVE needs to be able to bridge to Cosmos. We would see a long-term benefit from being able to bypass exchanges. Although, the major disadvantage will be that transactions will have a cost, whereas HIVE has no transaction fee. Even so, we would have access to larger markets to swap for other coins and tokens.

Osmosis has been my only way to get CRO so that jives with your route from the Crypto.org angle. The ATOM/OSMO LP pool has been very stable at about 95-105% lately. It was much higher before, but has been holding in this zone for a while. Osmosis is a great place to start learning about as a channel hub across many blockchains.
You're right about fees but the fees are so tiny. Free doesn't always mean better, and maybe Hive devs can be flexible to adapt.
