I have used the following GPIO expander in my current PCB design: PCF8575 I have chosen a breakout board for this chip that seems widely available and cost-effective, while at the same time making it easier to manufacture for a hobbyist than using the smd chip directly. I attach a picture of the chosen breakout board
be mindful of defective ICs from certain suppliers
will possibly include PCF8575 footprint beneath as an alternative option
If the expander is found necessary, discussion can take place here.
