Sony's full frame machines are so customizable out of the box already, so you don't need anything to begin with, at least for normal photography needs. Maybe focus stacking, but it's a pure new procedure.
30 minute recording limit is already lifted and advanced time-lapse is introduced alongside mammal eye tracking with a firmware update by Sony, and you can customize anything sans preliminary image processing steps, and by customization I mean the parameters of the algorithms or algorithms themselves.
Moreover, Sony's full-frame systems are already distributed systems to begin with. There are at least two DSPs running asynchronously during focus and image capture, so there may be no pathways to influence the DSPs significantly after they boot up, even.
Personally I wouldn't muck with a system designed to do image processing 30FPS even before taking a photo (A7-III) incl. face and eye tracking and focus correction without any hiccups to this day.
From what I understood, these cameras perform a nigh impossible dance within the limits of their hardware to maximize speed and reduce energy consumption. Who am I to disrespect them for doing that. Instead, I prefer to use the thing and get nice photos out of it.
