It's ultimately up to the implementation of this "superstate".
For me the biggest concern is whether Europe has the ability to tackle the current crisise, and maintain itself as a dominant force going forward.
While I care about sovereignty, our political system is already so undemocratic it invalidates any concern about EU supremacy. Economically, I think we'll be fine either way long term, and I'm dubious how much difference there would be.
I am hoping we stay and that gives a clear vote of confidence to other countries suffering the same isolationist wobbles.

I'm not sure economically ... the price of fossil fuels is bound to go up again and the UK is sorta on the edge location wise.
It all depends on BREXIT team's plans but I've little confidence in the lot. Or in the current lot, but at least you sorta know where you stand.
A little miffed also that there's no clear vision on what's to happen to EU immigrants (dirty job stealers like me) or expats (like this lovely English bloke in the Dutch town where my parents live)
Such an opportunity to define a new UK but...same old, same old?

Totally agree that the practical issues are immense and there's always been sniping in Europe anyway about difference in allocation/tax evasion in some countries etc.
It's ultimately up to the implementation of this "superstate".
See also the UK where in Northern Ireland abortion is as good as inaccessible while Westminster condems similar situations in other parts of the world and people dying of wrong atos assignments, getting benefits witheld while billions of tax remain legally unclaimed as laws are not amended.
Even in the UK you see a split forming between Scotland and Westminster about where money comes from and how it is allocated to citizens.
