First Look: The $865 Push SV8 Coil Shock
your dream shock is what the whole push towards electronic active suspension is all about, granted implementation will take some time.
For a heavy price at some point bikes will be available without manual shifting or suspension setup. Not sure of a way around the brakes and dropper lever.

First Look: The $865 Push SV8 Coil Shock
Came to talk smack about it being a Fox RC4 from more than a decade ago, but it has hydraulic bottom-out so the joke is still on fox for a decade of missed opportunity.

Review: 2024 Fox Float Factory Shock
The dps was underated, it was very reliable, had good midstroke support and packaged nicely.
The DPS outperformed the dpx2 in every way.
The float x has been a great shock and I assume the float is also a great shock that will work just as well, just as long if you can avoid the envy of a reservoir. Which, well I cannot.

Review: Cane Creek Tigon - The Air Charged Coil Shock
Throwback to the original coil/air shock, the Stratos Helix pro
https://products.mtbr.com/product/suspension/rear-shock/stratos/helix-pro.html
Only reason I know about is because I have one on my 2000 Fuji (also has rockshox judy 32mm dual crowns).
Stratos met an early demise as specialized used their sketch lawsuit tactics to fold small companies, something that rightfully gave companies like the big 3 (Specialized,Trek,Giant) a bad name for a combination of patent infringement and frivolous lawsuits against bespoke competitors.

Review: Cane Creek Tigon - The Air Charged Coil Shock
to add to this:
some designs (not brand specific) on HBO designs using BOC(bottom out cup)/piston on piston design, the secondary piston can be checked on rebound(having no effect) or can use orifice ports to control the comprssion and rebound into multiple zones.
HBO should have limited effect on recovery rate(rebound).
On the flip side a highly progressive low volume air spring will have an effect on rebound damping and increase recovery rate/rebound rate.
faster recovery rate/rebound is ideal, until it's not; through engineering and tuning this double edge sword can be dulled a bit
