Yes. The PCB and pick and place files all look good. Does seem that JLC now doesn't have the threaded solder nuts in 2mm height for some reason, so you'd need to source those along w/ the hotswap socket, and any other parts they get grumpy about.
Not sure why we don't see them used more. For designs that are minimizing soldering work, they're "one more thing to learn to solder", and there's lots of folks mimicking designs they see using the standard "standoffs with screws on each end" that it perpetuates.
For the upcoming LDSA keycaps that have lower skirts, you need to have a "clean" plate or you get the skirt striking the screw head. I imagine that might motivate more folks to explore this approach.
Do remember that even with assembly on the bottom, you still need to solder the controller sockets, pogos, and battery connector.

Sorry about that. Fixed!
Let me double check the PCBA files... I didn't get the 10u protos assembled, but they should be fine.
10 work has been merged. I've got a bit more docs work to do on the new optional bottom facing single color LEDs, I would skip those for now.
Here's a render of the keymap, you can see the file over at https://github.com/petejohanson/revxlp-config/blob/main/config/boards/shields/revxlp/revxlp.keymap
I'll post my personal keymap a bit later. It's mostly Callum style mod approach.
It's in a branch of the repo until I can address one or two minor issues, and some docs additions needed.
Indeed! It was somewhat inevitable it was going to, but I still wanted to do it for the XIAO-ness of it.
