I think the phenomenon of "underpowered host commands OP support" is somewhat inevitable in this "retro remake" space. Uzebox, one of the first projects of this type, found a path with the ATMega that really does it all-in-one, but the compromise is great - NTSC video, the available space is tiny and shared with the software kernel, and you have to program it externally. It's not a complete computer. The Agon Light goes in the direction of completely embracing a serial "eZ80 talks to ESP32" architecture, thus achieving its boast of being the "fastest 8-bit" by not really constraining itself. It's elegant for what it is; video games really DO benefit from that kind of setup since they typically operate with relatively light gameplay logic driving a massive amount of graphics.
