My growing 40% collection
Here are the last 14 weeks of frustration, 3d printing, and soldering. I ended up with 8 new boards: 2 draculads (one wireless), a TBK mini, Skeletyl (wireless), Reviung34 (wireless), Owl (wireless), and 2 of my own designs that I call Unisplay made from acrylic and birch plywood (handwired with Amoebas). I still have some spare pcbs and plates for building an Owl if anyone wants them.

Yet another split 5x3 + 3 : the Owl keyboard
Allow me to indroduce the Owl, yet another 5x3 + 3 keyboard ! This is a modified version of the rae-dux, the layout being the same, except with MX spacing. As for the rae-dux, it is wireless only.

Svalboard Typing Demo :D
dude I really think you should consider a sideways-mounted 5-way switch for the thumbs like I did on the fulcrum. I think it would work really well on this form factor

I use a corne and love it, but how “ergonomic” is it, really?
You may be interested by the 40-key version of the Fulcrum

Got my first split kb a while ago, Lily58. Is it just me or are these last 2 thumb keys annoying to reach?
It's tough to use more than 2 or 3 regular thumb keys. Check out the Fulcrum for max ergo thumb functionality

Chonky Pocket PC - build with a Pi 4, chording keyboard, ampripper psu, 5 inch touchscreen. Details in comments.
I use 20 keys as my daily driver and it’s been a dream come true. My RSI disappeared and as a bonus I type faster than I did before on regular keyboard.

Show me some wireless splits with integrated mouse!
Fulcrum allows you to use one of the thumb joysticks as a mouse, though i wouldn't recommend it as a full mouse replacement

I made a mobile style flick-input Japanese keyboard for my numpad!
Although, I guess you could also go with your idea with using one hand for the vowel and one for the consonant and use just two 5way switches. There is actually a DIY keyboard with two 5way switches: https://github.com/dschil138/Fulcrum I think it would work well for kana input.

Any ergo keyboards with no pinky keys?
I think you would really like the fulcrum
-
Any exotic layouts based on keypresses not on text? Especially for programmers
I doubt this will be what you are looking for but I did the same thing with the keylogger and had the same realization, which heavily informed my keymap and hardware design on the Fulcrum. Full keymap is at the bottom of the readme page. Also if you go to my profile I have a pinned repo on key press stats that you may find interesting.

How to solve thumb fatigue?
Fulcrum would be either your dream keyboard or your nightmare keyboard. Not sure which
