this stock(?) android doesn't look well-suited to the flip phone form factor. Is there an android UI made for feature phones?

What you need is really just a custom input method to write text. Android is already designed to be controlled with arrow keys. For tier apps, idk.
I have an LG flip phone that I use for testing phone systems. I believe it runs some form of Android. It's mostly okay, but typing messages with the keypad requires much slower input than the flip phones of yesteryear. Otherwise, typing too quickly will miss inputs. The rate is something between half a second to a second every time you press a key
The specs list "Android 11 (Go Edition)". I assume "Go Edition" is that?
"Go Edition" is really just a version for phones with low amounts of RAM.
