This certainly ticks quite a few of the correct boxes:

Allwinner V3S
runs Debian,
has connections exposed for ease,
not locked into SMT-only access
and best of all, no 18month waiting for delivery (? we can hope?)

ZeroW (urgent)
LicheePi Zero + TF wifi card + OTG convertor, send immediately after crowd funding ending Suit for developer
