How I would have did it:
1. (If possible) License a mediatek phone & ship an open source android image. Sell it for a low price. Pros: No risk, great phone, Cons: Might not be possible - though Fairphone did it for a high end phone.
2. Ship a Raspberry Pi Zero + Battery + LCD screen sandwiched together. Pros: A focus entirely on the mfg process might get you a slim mobile device. Cons: No 4G modem.
3. Don't do it at all. Pros: Save reputation. Cons: No Purism One funding.
The approach they took (custom everything) was insane.
