I wouldn't anticipate too much from m5stack. They have a habit of developing products that are well designed from a physical standpoint... but when you try to develop with them one finds that the software and support needed to achieve your goals are half-baked and downright annoying. UIFlow1/2, I'm looking at you...
For reference, see the M5dinmeter

I was just thinking that I could port rePalm to it. But for now I only support arm mips Riscv and aarch64. I guess maybe time for an LX7 port

Sounds like the usual m5stack story, beautiful hardware, software as an afterthought. Out of stock everywhere already too.

So many of these M5Stack products are not actually stackable and have no physical relation to their "stack" system.

This is competition for the new XTEINK X4 Pro. Cost about half the price and is compatible with Crosspoint too.
