Is it easy skip all the Python/AMY stuff and just run sclang on this? Maybe even just through terminal emacs? Just because maybe scide is asking too much here (too tiny of a screen for it perhaps)?

Another idea I would have is to go all the way and just try to put a norns image on this https://github.com/monome/norns

Guess I am just trying to say a cheap computer like this with good midi and dac is worth it in itself, and is probably ready for a lot ecosystems that arent python.

This is a pretty bespoke thing -- stuff made for an RPi / linux won't directly port over. It's running Micropython and has got custom code to handle the screen, there's no obvious framebuffer or terminal. But anything is possible and I bet you could take the bits of the firmware you need to port over your own stuff!

Ah gotcha, that makes a lot of sense and love that its close to the metal like that!
