8MB of NOR flash is totally standard for a vast majority of consumer routers.
OpenWrt/LEDE will happily fit on 8MB with around 4MB available as /overlay (e.g. for additional packages or data).
> The PCIe option is surprising. I'm not sure what I would use it for, but it does open up some unusual possibilities.
You can use PCI-e for 5GHz WiFi (most common use for PCIe on this SoC line). You can also buy SATA controllers or Gigabit Ethernet in mini-PCIe form factor.
Most UMTS/LTE modems in mini-PCIe form factor are actually only utilizing the USB pins in a mini-PCIe slot, so you don't actually need PCIe for those.
