How much novelty can there be? If attorneys were as diligent and generous with “open sourcing” their data as SWEs had been, could LLMs benefit from all that training data?

As much novelty as there is in human interactions.

Infinite
In the same sense there could be infinite CRUD apps?
Law and code are only superficially similar as law always requires human interpretation plus law is an interface to reality. Code can stay contained in its nice, little, abstract box.
So every lawsuit dispute, divorce, traffic injury, etc… is a completely novel case that requires depths of creativity far beyond simple CRUD apps or solving 377 open math problems.
Makes sense.
Isn’t code an interface to reality as well?
A lot of code is an interface to other code. Nginx is how many layers removed from actual physics?
In the same sense as infinite jest.
