this makes me nervous to design anything substantial around an RP2040

with a Raspberry Pi at least you could port your application to any board that runs Linux just by moving the code over

but if your project depends on the PIO subsystem in any way, you're locked in to buying their chips forever; you can't just take your code to another platform

At least the RP2040 chip is appearing in boards from other manufacturers, like Arduino

RP2040 doesn't have any Broadcom IP blocks, so it's probably a bit safer. About what I'd expect out of any other MCU that I didn't have a multi year buy signed in the blood of newborns for.
