last I checked pgp keys were limited to rsa2048. While the recommendation for the last two years have been rsa4096 (or ed-512 depending who you ask)

Is this still the case? their site only have pgp support as a binary option on the models, no extra info anywhere to be found on their search.

All the way at the bottom of the table, under "Cryptographic Specifications".

Recent versions also have support for plenty of ECC algorithms, see https://www.yubico.com/blog/whats-new-in-yubikey-firmware-5-...

It's not well-documented, but non-FIPS can support 4096. FIPS goes up to 3072 for, well, FIPS reasons.
