I wonder how far off this is planned for. Handheld PS5 obviously isn't viable now, but if this isn't hitting shelves for a few years maybe it eventually will be.

At some future point, it will be, for sure. But it draws 200 watts, so you're going to need to improve the efficiency by a factor of ~10, costs haven't decreased like normal due to a bunch of global factors, and it's looking like we're getting closer to the point of needing new techniques to continue shrinking. If you wait long enough it will be an option, but you could very reasonably match the PS4 and scale up production in the next year or so if you wanted to.
