Steam Deck Brick Mod: No screen, no controller, and absolutely no sense, just a power button and a USB port. (crastinator-pro.github.io)

Guy modded his steam deck be as small as possible, with the only intended use to be to play with an external controller and AR glasses.

A slight modification as I have new information: If you can justify it, the Xreal One might be worthwhile as they have added an ASIC to do away when the buggy software and dongle nonsense. Still not super open-source friendly (they're not actively hostile either) but that seems to solve my biggest issue with the experience. They seem to have better quality optics as well.

I may end up getting a pair of those to replace my Nreal Airs that are held together with tape and CA glue (I'm unfortunately hard on my electronics).
