Sorry for the delay - I've been on holiday the past week.
As @DrAzzy says, I'd be pre-installing the ESP8266 (as the idea is to get something a bit more plug-and-play), so I'm afraid I don't think tweaking the pinout would really help that much.
But you could make what we're calling a shim - basically a bit of PCB with a Pico pinout on one side, and some module on the other. There is already one for RFM69/RFM12B...
It wouldn't be quite as small, but it wouldn't be that far off...
