I'm currently dealing with an SoC that has over a hundred GPIOs.
Whatever we choose, I think it should be able to handle an insane
number of GPIOs without getting any more cumbersome that is

This is *consumer* side GPIOs, not bindings for the device providing the
GPIOs.  If a single device needs to use hundreds of GPIOs I'd expect
many of them will be block functions so you'd have a binding with an
array for things like "databus" and "addrbus".
