It looks like it should work as a PicoMite VGA if you connect external resistors to the appropriate pins. I can't be sure as I've not seen a schematic for it.

The on-board DVI isn't supported at all under MMBasic.
The PIO USB port isn't supported under MMBasic unless you wrote the USB code for the PIO.
You probably couldn't use a RPi Zero "hat" while running MMBasic.

It's cheaper to use an official Pico, which is also smaller. Yo can also find cheaper 16MB flash versions.

More Info here

I can't find a schematic, so whether the wiring of the PIO USB and DVI would cause a problem I've no idea. We don't know how the SD card is wired either, but you can usually manage that.
