Hello

are there any fees that are separate from integrating other Stripe products?
We really don't know much about fees beyond what is stated at https://stripe.com/connect/pricing

would it make more sense to collect funds to us or have venues directly handle funds? How would refunds, liabilities, and disputes operate? What would be ideal practice?
This really is up to you -- you need to determine who is liable here and how much control you want as the platform versus you want to handoff to your Connected Accounts and that will influence the account type you choose to use (https://docs.stripe.com/connect/accounts) as well as the corresponding charge flow (https://docs.stripe.com/connect/charges).

How are taxes handled with Stripe Connect for both payout methods (us as platform or venues)?
Stripe issues 1099s for your Connected Accounts in certain cases, once again depending on the account type and tax set up. You can read more about that here: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/tax-reporting

Overall, I can't really tell you how you should design your integration in these regards as I don't know the intricacies of your business nor what control you want. If you have specific questions then I'm happy to answer them.
