The GPD Win Max 2 handheld will be shipping with Windows 11, can work with Windows 10, and if all goes to plan it will be at least another six months before an optimized version of Steam OS becomes available.

I would like to see SteamOS on other devices. I'm curious that when Steam releases the official ISO, what does that look like on an AYA Neo?

This actually isn't too surprising. Believe it or not, there already is GPD-specific code in Steam OS 3. Valve apparently used a GPD device for prototyping. This comment is what gave it away:

# this test block detects a thinkpad x220 which I use for
# testing when I don't have a GPD: edit to match your own hw

There are also a handful of GPD-specific files in Steam OS, some of which exist in other Linux distros:

/usr/share/libinput/50-system-gpd.quirks
/usr/bin/gpd-xorg-rotation-config
/usr/lib/modules/5.13.0-valve10.1-1-neptune-02144-g7fffaf925dfb/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/gpd-pocket-fan.ko.xz
