You could use a PI Pico W for USB-To-CMOS Serial and for a WiFi connection

Possibly, but just as a serial port, you'll need to review how you might communicate with one or many. Perhaps by a broadcast UDP.

I think the SW development with the Arduino IDE might still be easier via the RPi Nano W. Powering the display via USB Charger into RPi. For the 50-up perhaps via specific addressing, or broadcast UDP socket connections from PC.

If i can use the Wifi module connected to the qr module, the communication is not a problem once the wifi module has an IP address.
