32 Keys or less; anyone proficient with them? Do you prefer this to boards with more keys? Which board(s) do you like?
I‘ve mained various 30 key boards for over a year now. I find it to be the optimal size to have all keys within easy reach, but without too much combo/layer jumping. You can see my config here: https://github.com/jcmkk3/zmk-config

Fit Colemak-DH on a 26+4 key hummingbird-like layout
No analyzer can really model these things at this point, but I think that you can feel when things are bad. I don't use colemak, but feel free to look at my config/layout. https://github.com/jcmkk3/zmk-config

Ergonomic Keyboards
I feel like any programmable keyboard should be able to be configured to work well with emacs. I personally like having very few keys so that my hands need to move less when typing/navigating. Because I use powerful firmware (ZMK), I still have access to all of the keys that I need. You can take a look at how I configure my keyboard (along with some of my keyboards) here: https://github.com/jcmkk3/zmk-config

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.
