At this point I'm not even picky about which custom ROM I run.
What I'm looking for is a phone that has a very small form factor and there's any custom ROM that officially supports it.

Ideally, with a 3-4" screen
Must be <5"
Must be officially supported. (for unsupported builds, I know of a few options already)

Are there any? Thanks for any suggestions or help!

You've made me curious and I looked up small screen phones, apparently the last one from a known brand was the Samsung J2 Core 2020. Assuming you can still buy one there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for it on XDA.

Here's the other ones made in the last 3 years, not a lot of ROM support among them I'd wager (but I'd love to be proven wrong).

Have you considered finding a Samsung S5? It's 5.1" and there are tons of custom ROMs for it. Or an S4, maybe S4 Mini, or even an S2/S3. Replaceable batteries too, so if the phone itself is in good shape you should be able to get them working fine.
