Do this device and the other alternative mentioned (Capibara Zero) have the same level of software support as the Flipper Zero? I imagine the strong community behind the Flipper Zero is a big factor in its ongoing popularity.
It is exactly same problem like Raspberry Pi vs all other (cheaper, better) single board computers.
The LilyGo T-Embed CC1100 has similar hardware capabilities of the FlipperZero plus WiFi/bluetooth and runs the Bruce Pentest firmware all for under half the price of the flipper. The Bruce firmware works well on it but is not as polished as the flipper zero but both hardware and software are open source and easily modded.
Yes i know It, but when i started It this, It didn't exist yet
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Except the RPi competition isn't better, only cheaper, because it has terrible software; and without a big community, no support?

Exactly, the flipepr have a enormous community that help, beyond all the people that work for flipper. So in this case is no, the software support is not even remotely comparable

This rocks; the idea of flipperzero phoning home is the(my) primary concern given its use case
Would you be willing to elaborate on the FZ phoning home?
I do sometimes wonder how concerned I need to be about the companion app though.
What is going on with the PCB? It looks like the soldered several dev boards to a big PCB. I can't think of a good reason to do this.
I mean, yeah, why not? You take a bunch of off the shelf boards and put them together on the PCB as is. To make a PCB with all of the components on it would not be very DIY. That's a custom board and out of scope for DIY.

I would expect this to be the same for the Flipper Zero.
