The idea of transforming the current makefile system to the IDF system on the fly, is a good one.
For me i find the current system confusing ,to carry out this task myself. Especially since it's shared across many different hardware configurations.
On the other hand, performing a full build with IDF is easy and fast. I don't see any drawbacks; you just need to have the entire SDK downloaded, but IDF takes care of everything.
The source files that need to be changed from the current Espruino, I've identified them very well, and there are very few things to modify. The main issue lies with the BUILD system; regarding the source files.
I also find it easy to maintain dual compatibility with 3.3.6 and 4.4.7 through defines in the source files. Although I've noticed a significant improvement in stability with the 4.x series compared to the 3.x series.
