project design with lua
Can't give you a tutorial, but maybe it is interesting to you how we (well, I'm not an active part of the team anymore, it has evolved considerably after my active time in that project - back in the day, I kicked off the humble beginnings) in the KOReader project went on, so I suggest to study that. We've separated the "glue" part - https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base - from the "application" part, https://github.com/koreader/koreader That approach served well, if I'm any judge, since the former deals with C/Lua interop (API and LuaJIT's FFI), while the latter is a "pure" Lua framework. Start with reading "reader.lua", it will eventually call in the main application loop, UIManager:run().

Pico 8 in other software
Picolove, written in lua for love2d: a very good starting point, especially if the engine you're using has support for lua. Has been used for "expanded" versions of games, because it's very easy to modify the resolution of the display and things like that. Works for simpler carts like Celeste, but is not memory accurate!

Simple Engine ontop of löve framework?
You should check out picolove (https://github.com/picolove/picolove). It’s the PICO-8 API implemented in Löve. It can run PICO-8 games, but it doesn’t have support for the PICO-8 dev tools (code editor, sprite editor, etc…)

What are some free alternatives to P8?
I've never used it, but you could try picolove. It's a reimplementation of the PICO-8 API in Love2D. So, only the code part is there and you don't get the music/sprite/map editor, and all the other stuff that makes PICO-8 PICO-8. If you plan on buying PICO-8 later though, this could be a good primer to learn the API for free
