Thank you, we really need a good alternative to FZ.

I haven't looked closely at the files, but I wonder if there is anything stopping us from using the new C3 riscv version instead if S3.

C3 seems to be cheaper and more stable, but maybe the performance is a bit lower?

I have a bunch of esp32-c3 and build system of capibaraZero make it easy to integrate it(like other device of esp32 family). The only problem with esp32-c3 is the absence of USB OTG feature.

Is OTG a requirement? Or just good to have?

I have a bunch of C3-mini boards and it would be great to finally use them for something more interesting than a temperature sensor.

Not really a requirement, you won't see USB section on the GUI. The capibaraZero is designed to support almost every device that support Arduino Wiring framework, so if a device doesn't support a feature, it will be hidden in GUI
