The one problem with this approach is the size of the used block table. This uses 2 bits for every 256 bytes
So for 8Mbytes this is 8x1024x1024/256/4 bytes. If the same firmware is to support the RP2350 with or without PSRAM then this space needs to be permanently allocated which is a waste if PSRAM is not present.
