Sorry if this question sounds stupid but why not just use the ESP32 for whatever the STM32 is being used for? It can even update itself over the air.

STM32 is available with more, and better peripherals and interfaces than the ESP32. Embedded microcontrollers perform a wide variety of tasks, aside from simple digital communication.

It’s notoriously not a friendly or easy perform to develop for and despite its capabilities, the ESP32 has largely been relegated to daughterboard status in most embedded situations.

Enable firmware update of STM32Fxx series MCUs (includes the famous BluePill) Over-the-Air using ESP32.

Actually you can do that with RIOT-OS (and probably Zephyr too) if you attach an SPI radio or Ethernet module.

The esp32 has quite a rich set of peripherals on its own.
