Solar generators aren't specified to be UPSes. Some work, some don't, just like power banks. I love them, but they're not always perfect.
Raspberry Pis are common though. They've taken over like half of DIY electronics and home servers, for a good reason, everything else is way more hassle and less supported.
Not sure why you say PD is overcomplicated. Until you get above 30 to 60w where not everything supports it, stuff just works. Their only big mistake I see is not keeping the 12v power tier.
WAY too many things run on 12v and losing the ability to easily run legacy stuff sucked. But they'll fix that when 12v PPS trigger modules are available, for some reason they are not currently.
