CC256XC-BT-SP: Which microchip to use for sourcing audio stream in new designs?

Part Number: CC256XC-BT-SP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2564C, CC256XCQFN-EM

Tool/software:

Hello Experts,

We are in the process of selecting a microchip to upgrade our high-end battery powered medical device that among other things uses Bluetooth for sourcing audio stream to modern third-party Bluetooth headsets. We are presently using ESP32 with A2DP, but would like to upgrade it to something more reliable. We were thinking about TI's CC2564C microchip. The part's cost is not an issue. Will it be a wise decision?

I noticed that evaluation board CC256XCQFN-EM is declared as obsolete by main distributors and that last posts about CC256 were 4-5 years ago.

We don't mind to use BLE instead of BT Classic's  A2DP, but I don't know if BLE audio is enough popular among headsets manufacturers, or do they exist at all.

Do you have any comments regarding the CC2564C as a good choice for new designs or would you suggest some other direction please?

Thank You!
