I thought they said the Pi 5 supply would stay in stock?

So go with any of the myriad of alternatives.

Orange Pi, pine 64, etc.

Are those any good? Can the firmware be trusted?

Probably as much as pi firmware can be

As much as a raspberry pi.

Figure that the majority of these are designed in Hong Kong (or designed and then sent to) and built elsewhere in China.

Also stick with open source hardware builds. You can figure out firmware very quickly.

Screw Raspberry. Performance is sub-par to many alternatives, binary blobs are untrustworthy and they can't ship. #RISCV ftw.
