Hello, I just joined in
Here are some my thoughts: (...)
I have finally decied to stay with my line drivers. '245 looks like elegant alternative, but as I have 11 LEDs to control.... 2x6 outputs seems more reasonable. As adviced, I use OE/ signals to control leds drivers. Regarding the via in a surface mount pads - I've decided to leave one like that for testing purposes and see how it will go. JLPCB describes specific parameters of such vias, so it feels like common practice.

About the NC pin - AVR/ATMEGA/Arduino boots with all pins in INPUT state - that means high rezistance - so if you connect it to Arduino and leave it such for 65C02, it should be OK, as there would be effectively connected just the short wire. And for '816 you can drive it yourself. But I would add a jumper, just to set, which CPU is inserted, so Teensy could read it after boot and set everything acordingly.

For Black&White in KiCad is easy to make B&W scheme ( (Preferencies / Preferencies (Ctrl+,) / Schematic Editor / Colors - click Theme and select Black & White, OK - or select New Theme and customize it) You can then use the theme only for printing, or switch it with default on your will. (On my computer it was saved into /home/gilhad/.config/kicad/7.0/colors directory, on yours it should be something similar)
