When are we going to see an "on-ramp" from fiat

If the yield is good as we hope it will be then an endowment could work.

We have had hints about on-ramps from fiat to BitUSD for a while, is there actually a service actively in development? We are pretty much in the dark on this.

Or are we waiting to see what the escrow transaction type is going to look like first?

A better idea is why not have on-ramps where wealthy benefactors can give gifts to the community as a whole?

A gift economy allows you to receive everything from USD to information. In a gift economy the on-ramp would be in the form of gift cards. A gift card exchange could be built into Bitshares X itself.

We need an on-ramp which allows any entity to gift value to Bitshares in a way where every shareholder benefits. It does not have to be USD -> BitUSD. It could be giftcard <-> BitUSD.

I think it might be a good idea to approach Gyft for Bitshares X integration as a mutually beneficial partnership.

Everything is being lined up behind the scenes and will launch when the new client is ready.  Doing so prematurely would be devastating for the future of BTS.. the product must be ready.
