Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Indeed, let's not get ahead...

Let's first prototype and see how much gain there is in speed... because that is why this is interesting, right ?

For reference since easy to do on the MMX (200MHz)
Time for CLS
ILI9341 SPI 49mSec
ILI9341 16-bit parallel 6mSec
ILI9341 8-bit (calculated from the scaled time of 8-bit 480*272 SSD1963)  14mSec

NB: the SPI on the MMX is more efficient than the RP2040 but parallel port operations are slower (2 cycles per write)

On Pico @ 252MHz
ILI9341 SPI 69mSec (66mSec at 133MHz)
ILI9341 8-bit (calculated from the scaled time of 8-bit 480*272 SSD1963) 8mSec (14 at 133MHz)

That sounds promising Peter, it certainly looks like it would be fast enough that blitting to the display would no longer be the bottleneck for arcade games.
