Many 4g/5g modules are basically stripped down/headless smartphones in themselves, running Linux + modem firmware, etc. You don't need the microcontroller, you just need to patch the firmware.

Yes. I was looking for an answer along the lines of a particular model from Telit/whoever. I'd rather use the external micro to control the module with AT commands.
