Hi, hope you don't mind me jumping in,

The other thing the diode and resistor arrangement on the op-amp input does is limit the PWM from the Pico to less than 1Vpkpk centred around Vsupply/2. You trade the full 3.3Vpkpk swing from the Pico for a smaller one, but it does mean you're not restricted to using rail-rail parts in the filter op-amp.
You could perhaps then restore the full voltage swing by setting the PAM input amplifier gain accordingly.
