Seems like finally there's support for Neopixel for Pi 5.

The adafruit solutions uses pio driver which is only available on Pi 5 and sometimes a firmware update is needed to activate it:

another more generic solution is offered by rpi_ws281x which is backward compatible with older Pis:

I am leaning toward the second solution which is more flexible
