Building a DIY Pen Plotter
Grbl on ESP32 absolutely is a thing. I've been using it drive my robots for years. https://github.com/bdring/FluidNC

Do $3-5k machines have an effortless way of storing and starting a routine request prompt?
Not that I'm aware. The closest I know is the FluidNC firmware https://github.com/bdring/FluidNC for ESP32 boards.

ESP32-S3 SPI bus
According with this image from the espressif github there are some pins (35, 36, 37, 47, 48) with "SPI functions", and some others marked with the tags "FSPI" and "Subspi" (9-14, 35-38).
- Best pins for fastest SPI speed

I have some a4988 stepper driver and esp 32 but no driver .How can i code for a diy cnc with these? What will be the instructions?
I use this one. WiFi access, upload gcode to SD card and fire the job. Pretty happy about that. I bought one of the boards they make, and they provide support for that so buying from them makes things easier. But there's more [supported hardware](https://github.com/bdring/FluidNC/wiki/Hardware-that-Runs-FluidNC). There are configurations ready for some of those cheap boards and a friend made one work out of the box.

6 pack eps32 controller?
I've been looking at the tinybee since I need 4 axes and external driver support... I don't see it on the hardware that runs fluidNC page https://github.com/bdring/FluidNC/wiki/Hardware-that-Runs-FluidNC

Add 4th axis (rotation along the Z axis) on a GRBL CNC
If you use Arduino Mega, you could control up to 6 axis as i know: https://github.com/fra589/grbl-Mega-5X
-
I've made a fifthaxis! it is hobby-sized
For a 5 axis firmware I'm using this https://github.com/fra589/grbl-Mega-5X it's based on GRBL-Mega and it plays super nice on a Ramps shield (super cheap and easy to find).

can i control arduino outputs on a GRBL mega?like to manually code an ATC,or to switch few solenoids
Try this version: https://github.com/fra589/grbl-Mega-5X

Grbl on Creality 8Bit Board
You could use https://github.com/gnea/grbl-Mega or https://github.com/fra589/grbl-Mega-5X And you need to know the pin usage of your board, to setup the config.h file

Added 4th axis to my Arduino powered CNC mill
If your are using grbl, this repo might be of interest. Haven't used it but it seems popular enough for a 5 axis grbl firmware. https://github.com/fra589/grbl-Mega-5X
-
Pen plotter
Probably yes, it seems to use a Mega 2560, so you could use https://github.com/gnea/grbl-Mega or https://github.com/fra589/grbl-Mega-5X
