It’s generally quite easy to use these over I2C without a driver. You can crib the sequence of initialization commands from the example code supplied by the manufacturer (or loads of examples on GitHub), and then the commands to draw to the screen are pretty straightforward. The chip has its own display RAM, so you don’t need to worry about redrawing every time the display refreshes or anything as low-level as that.

Interesting! That could be good way to boost the speeds here for sure, as I'm still pushing out a full framebuffer out with every update and am not usually updating the whole screen.
