I was confused by the prominent use of the word "stepstick", not something I was familiar with even though I try to expose myself to quite a lot of 3D printing material (having one is still more like a bucket list item, though).
I think the term is/was originally a product name for a small, rectangular module with a stepper motor driver on it [1] from 2012. Then it seems the term has been made more generic, with updated versions like the SilentStepStick [2] featuring a driver chip by Trinamic instead.
I guess my point is that for some readers, the stepper motor features on OP's board could be made more clear and perhaps use actual chip numbers, too. :)
Great job!

I think the thing about StepSticks is they all have same (or very similar) pinout - so as long as board is designed for generic "stepstick", you can plug your favorite kind.
Earlier journal log entries mentioned TMC2209_SILENTSTEPSTICK, but most recent schematics removed this designation. Seems like an oversight.
