"I’m still curious about the technical overhead (and liability) that’s placed on website admins to be 'a bank' that holds currency on behalf of our users."

Can anyone involved with GNU #Taler answer this?

Unless you are running GNU Taler as a local currency, its essentially the same as with every other payment system.

If you are running it as one, there are at least in German law some exceptions that allow you to offer such functionalities without being subject to regulations. That’s a bit delicate and differs between countries.
