Is it possible to have a magic key for same finger skipgrams?
So it's possible to have a magic key for same-finger bigrams (SFBs) as seen in Magic Sturdy.

looking for bespoke solution
Regarding chording, you might find inspiration in the chording schemes in Ikcelaks’ Magic Sturdy, the Ardux project, and precondition's "steno-lite" combos.

Have you tried "Repeat last mod"?
Beyond reversing, Ikcelaks's Magic Sturdy layout is a showcase of what else can be done. It is a layout where the Alternate Repeat key is placed in easy reach on the right index finger. This is the "magic" in Magic Sturdy. This key is configured to remove SFBs and type common n-grams, or potentially do anything else you want: "this key can be fully dynamic based on the last key press and need not be constrained to logically reversing that keypress." I've been trying Magic Sturdy for the past few weeks, and definitely this is a fun idea.

Starting my journey with colemak. This title took me about 2 minutes and cost me a headache.
I've lately been experimenting with variations on Oxey's Sturdy, which is an attractive layout for an unusually strong combination of low redirects and high rolls, yet keeping SFBs and pinky use low. A very interesting mod that I'm using now is Ikcelaks's Magic Sturdy. It incorporates the Alternate Repeat Key as a "magic" key whose function is determined adaptively based on the previous key. This is leveraged to get around the highest SFBs and as a shortcut to type common n-grams.

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

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.
