Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

ZSA Voyager: Low profile split keyboard
I made this a while back to fill that exact need: https://github.com/tadfisher/nyx-kb

Low Profile 65% split? Does it exist? Bonus points for wireless?
How about the 64 keys Nyx https://github.com/tadfisher/nyx-kb or Taira https://github.com/strayer/taira-keyboard that has 66 keys ? They're low profile and support ZMK.

The origin story of our new ortholinear keyboard
Here's one I designed as my first electronics project: https://github.com/tadfisher/nyx-kb
Seems to meet your criteria, but obviously requires some assembly.

GitHub – tzarc/djinn: Djinn Split Keyboard
Mine isn't there: https://github.com/tadfisher/nyx-kb
Of course, I need to do a better job at advertising and keeping up with trends like OLED screens and rotary knobs. But as a plain-Jane Bluetooth split ortho keyboard, I fervently enjoy typing on it.

I brought it to work today to show the developers but nobody cares
Just put that in the legacy pile, and build this guy instead: https://github.com/tadfisher/nyx-kb

Keyboard Builders' Digest // Issue 21
The Nyx, a low-profile, split, wireless ergo by u/tadfisher is now open hardware (repo).

Adjustable, low-impact keeb is about as comfortable as it gets
Keeping palms in the air has alleviated my wrist and saddle joint pain as well. What helped immensely to build the habit was to switch to a low-profile keyboard so there is nowhere to rest my wrists.
P.S. The keyboard I switched to was designed and built by myself [1]. It is a fantastic first project for someone new to electronics (e.g. me).

- As promised, Nyx is open hardware

How do I get started with designing split keyboards ?
You can see an example of this with the Djinn Rev 2a

Choosing keyboard
I have found one with no wireless module (djinn) but i really want a wireless one.

Djinn Rev 2a?
https://i.imgur.com/Z4FZ0t1.jpg Finally reflect I'm done with the hardware. This was my first non-kit board where I had to order all the components myself. Soldering was tough. Blood, sweat and ⠀tears were shed, but I think it was worth it. Big thanks to u/tzarc for the great piece of kit and for all folks on the djinn discord channel for putting up with all my noob questions! All the required info is here: https://github.com/tzarc/djinn Now I just have to learn to type better 😂 Here are some progress pics https://imgur.com/a/5h1qPb1

A Blue Connector Does Not USB 3.0 Make
There may be enthusiast mechanical keyboards that use faster ports. My keyboard uses an Elite-C MCU in each half. I've heard some more modern stuff is switching to ARM for the MCUs.
Here's a keyboard that uses an ARM MCU:

Layout not working correctly after detaching split keyboard while powered on
Most of the open source designs do not have protection on the TRRS connector. There are many kinds of protection that can be built such as for ESD (static electricity), over voltage, over current (short circuit), noise (interference), etc. All of these require components and board real estate. You can check out the Djinn Djinn keyboard It implements protection on the TRRS port and it is a BEAST. The Pro Micro form factor for MCU boards is pretty small so there is limited space for this kind of circuitry. However, if a keyboard has an onboard controller (no separate microcontroller) it might have some protection, at least on the USB connector.

Creating a footprint with copper traces embedded into it. Anyway to make it easier?
You can. I learned from this guy: https://github.com/tzarc/djinn. I just don’t remember how (I haven’t used kicad in a while). You might be able to figure it out by looking at the footprints he used here. Even the MCU footprint is a reversible one with all the traces included iirc.
