AVR is severely resource-constrained, and as QMK continues to grow, it is approaching a point where support for AVR may need to be moved to legacy status as newer development is unable to fit into those constraints.

If you've done all of this, and your firmware is still too large, then it's time. It's time to consider making the switch to ARM. Unfortunately, right now is the worst possible time for that, due to the silicon shortage, and supply chain issues. Getting an ARM chip is difficult, at best, and significantly overpriced, at worst. If you've done all of this, and your firmware is still too large, then it is time to consider making the switch to ARM. There are a number of Pro Micro replacements with an ARM controller:
