Keyhive Sofle Rgb | rgb and OLED help
The normal version needs SK6812 mini leds, yours look like the mini-e variants. Mini-e has legs and is easier to solder but the pinout is different: https://github.com/TweetyDaBird/Lotus58/issues/10

First build! Slowly getting used to how to type again...
Decided I'd finally had enough of the Nordic ISO layout and figured "why not just jump in the deep end?" and bought parts to make myself a Lotus58 Glow. (https://github.com/TweetyDaBird/Lotus58)

First keyboard, Lotus58, with my crappy soldering and the good help of friends and the community
Not OP, but I have the repository open because I'm also building one of these. You can find everything at https://github.com/TweetyDaBird/Lotus58.

Help with Sofle RGB Build and PCB
Is a capacitor required for each rotary encoder that we put? The Lotus58 build guide suggests so, but I haven't seen it mentioned in other places, included the Sofle RGB build guide itself.

First build: lotus58 with own case design
It's open source and needs to be built by oneself. You can find everything necessary on tweetys github

Semicolon to underscore trick
For minimizing awkward finger movements, I feel like a decent approach would be to borrow techniques from the tiny keyboard crowd make a multi-layered keyboard layout to minimize movement. e.g. some people have 34 key keyboards with multiple layers triggered in various ways to get the full range of input. (Some people go even further, e.g. to 16 keys).

I would be very interested in having a programmable ergo keyboard like the Ferris: https://github.com/pierrechevalier83/ferris

Have there been splits with an IC?
The ferris (not sweep) is a great example of a board with an integrated mcu. The big disadvantage is that the design is tied to a specific part and also will be less accessible for DIYers. In the case of the ferris, the chip that it uses has been almost impossible to find for the last year, which is one of the factors of the sweep's popularity over the ferris. https://github.com/pierrechevalier83/ferris
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Lotus-Keyboard and ferris you can also consider the following projects:
Lily58 - 6×4+4keys column-staggered split keyboard.
Sweep - Sweep - a small promicro based keyboard inspired by the Ferris.
SofleKeyboard - A split keyboard based on Lily58, Crkbd and Helix keyboards
miryoku - Miryoku is an ergonomic, minimal, orthogonal, and universal keyboard layout.
Lily58 - 6×4+4keys column-staggered split keyboard.
Ferris-Slip-On-Case - Friction fit case for the ferris pcb
dumbpad - Simple 4x4 numpad with rotary encoder. Powered by QMK via ATmega32u4 Pro Micro
zmk - ZMK Firmware Repository
Lily58-Glow-Enc
qmk_firmware - Open-source keyboard firmware for Atmel AVR and Arm USB families
