I see it as similar to a RPi - great for POC or smaller deployments, especially if you have different requirements on different projects because you can share the same knowledge base, but for a large deployment you'd probably invest the time and money into sourcing something more specific.

I've had lots of half-baked ideas for things to do around the house that this would be very cool for, since I'm not 100% sure what functionality (and therefore hardware) I'll really need.

Honestly, it's not THAT hard with Raspberry PI Pico and CircuitPython.

I have experience of programming for ARM M0 with Linaro, debugging over SWD. It was pain.

A few weeks ago I got Tiny2040, flashed with CircuitPython. I believe even a teenager can now do some microcontroller stuff. It's so unbelievably easy.
