QMK and Keyboards
Gotta give a shoutout to kanata[1] which I have used daily for years at this point after giving up on QMK-powered keyboards.
QMK itself is great, but I was never able to find a non-columnar split ISO keyboard to use it with. Eventually I reluctantly settled on the Logitech K860[2] and I'm now happily using my favourite features from QMK with kanata at the software level.

[2]: If I'm behind the times and there is now a QMK-compatible keyboard that looks like this, please let me know!

Emacs boffins guide to reprogramming keyboard for EXWM?
This is not in Emacs, but if I can't modify my keyboard's firmware (e.g on a laptop), I use Kanata https://github.com/jtroo/kanata. It works by creating a virtual keyboard in Linux (and uses a filter driver or process hooks in Windows), so it can work in any program as they just see a normal keyboard.

HHKB Studio: The New Happy Hacking Keyboard with TrackPoint
Besides the better caps word (by the way, you can have it in software in Win/Linux apps like https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/blob/main/docs/config.adoc#c...) you can also toggle capslock with e.g. a double tap while having on-hold functionality to the more useful Control, so you still wouldn't need to hold any modifier key

Kanata: Improve keyboard usability with advanced customization
One particular approach that one might find it interesting is how the configuration is laid out (using S-expression from Lisps).

Learn AutoHotKey by stealing my scripts
Kanata[0] is amazing. It support both Linux and Windows. But I'm yet to try it on windows because my majority work is on linux.

Making a Keyboard Layout
You could try to use https://github.com/manna-harbour/xmk from the same developer in order to run Miryoku on every keyboard.

Is it possible to connect both sides individually with two separate USB cables?
I have a software solution for that, but it's Linux only, and also you'd have to use KMonad or 𝑥MK for the keymap.
- Any suggestions microcontroller with wireless USB capabilities?

Is it possible to have a transparency of your keymap on screen?
https://github.com/manna-harbour/xmk might be able to support dynamic options.

ELI5 hold-preferred, balanced, tap-preferred or tap-unless-interrupted for layer toggle and home row mods?
Sounds like a nice project! Also consider using the record mode of 𝑥MK for this.

𝑥MK: Use programmable keyboard firmware with any keyboard.
It works in a VM on Windows, with usbip for communication. See https://github.com/manna-harbour/xmk/discussions/4. That might also be possible on macOS, see this comment.
