When PR #17425 will be merged to the master - this should be rather easy work.

I do not develop full ws281x driver, but without any problems run application based on Raspberry pico SDK example which control few ws2812 leds from RIOT OS.

As @krzysztof-cabaj says, the PIO is the best way to tackle this.

https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/pull/17425 is now indeed on the way it, so it shouldn't be too long before this can be tackled with a fancy PIO based driver :)
