I heard there is a way to use IRQ and make it work on esp8266. Is there any work in progress?
Not as far as I know. I'm trying to use the patreon page to get some funds to look into ESP8266 a bit more, so I guess at some point that might happen.
However I think at some point WiFi takes priority over everything, so it might never be reliable.
since it lacks PWM support
Soft PWM does work ok. It seems to be ok-ish for ~100Hz or so, which might work for your lighting?
