You'll be stuck with the few native Sailfish application that make use of it (so initially mostly "Other-Half" -like NFC chip detection).

Forget about NFC payment initially (the payment processors won't open their protocols to let some 3rd party make a free/libre open-source app on github, and the official apps from the payment processors won't work neither).
Hmm perhaps not easy. But seems Mozilla did some work on that for FirefoxOS.
So, it may be worthwhile looking into that?
