So... after thinking a bit, I ordered the 10.3" 16-bit display in addition, since it allows text to be anti-aliased. The end result is way smoother. It would've been possible to just live with the 1-bit display constraint, but I decided to use that screen for something else in the future.

Fortunately for me, some great minds had already [thought the same](https://twitter.com/faassen/status/1375922965062238208?lang=en).

USB cables were _so much_ smaller than the 40-pin GPIO cables and headers.
