With enough GPIO pins, can I skip diodes?
there is the sweep (https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep). Also there are some sweep variants with 36 keys (https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36)

Ferris Sweep with promicro rp2040 slave not working
Hi guys, still did unable to connect any of the slaves. Tried kmk but no luck as well. In the meanwhile i checked again continuity, which is working for all of the pins (in the TRRS) and also found the schematics for my board if that helps: https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep/blob/main/schematic.pdf

Why hjkl is still default settings for moving around?
Personally I use ferris sweep and I just hold left thumb button to have arrows on right hand and I use them for neovim and helix. Nevertheless you should prioritize minimalising Same Finger Usage (SFI) and comfort, they are most important for speed and to minimize mistakes. Bare minimum, I would remap j to up and k do down, but you can also remap helix function of unei to places of hjkl and think for yourself how would you like to have them placed.

ZSA Voyager: Low profile split keyboard
Only two thumb keys seems like it could be a pain. I don't love trying to figure out the timing delays for tap vs hold. After a long search I settled on the Hillside 46 [1][2] which has 4 thumb keys and a splayed layout. Also choc spacing, as I didn't love the gaps between choc keycaps with mx spacing. Not sure why, as the macbook pro keyboard doesn't seem to give me any problems.
I like the all the case options and mods available to the ZSA keyboards. The biggest problem with building your own I feel is the cost of getting a nice, solid feeling case.

Corne, but with a wider thumb cluster and stronger column stagger?
There are a few things that are close: * The Cantor/Piantor: more aggressive stagger and slightly changed thumb cluster. * The Swept Corne: essentially a big sweep. * The Hillside 46/48: This comes in many forms which are very similar to what you are looking for. Essentially an extra aggressive stagger (and perhaps splayed) Corne with a bigger thumb cluster.

How do I go about acquiring a pre-built Swept Corne?
I don’t have personal experience no. If you want to compare, here is a image of the key location: https://github.com/mmccoyd/hillside/blob/main/hillside46/doc/image/hill46_keys.png others exist for the other sizes in similar places. You can print this out, making sure you size so that the keys are properly spaced, and then compare that way

[request] Looking for Ortho-split-kbd somewhere between an ergodox and a corne.
I'd recommend a Hillside. If you're not into the splay, there's the 48 and the 56. https://github.com/mmccoyd/hillside
