>Espressif's radio firmware blobs are closed source, and must run within ESP-IDF's FreeRTOS framework. It's near impossible to reverse-engineer them (not to mention legal risks.)

It's not nearly impossible, it has already been done :)

It is for the older original esp32, not for this port which is esp32-s31. Their radio are drastically different. Also their reverse engineered firmware are incomplete so esp-hosted remains the best choice for now.
