First of all, I don't see a 3.3V regulator on this board, nor any transistors required to convert UART to the apparent 5V. It's most likely just misleading silkscreen - DO NOT power it from 5V, you may kill the chip!
I don't know which pin might be A0. You might have a bit of luck by checking the RTL8720CF pinout and seeing where the PCB trace goes from that pin.
Since the device uses default AT firmware, it's totally possible that the A0 pin is just not there at all. Or maybe the firmware has a command to run download mode - the AT command set printed with help is just a small part of the available commands, IIRC.

Ok, thanks, I'll try to trace...
I found a few AT commands, does any of those ring any bell?
unknown command 'AT'
unknown command 'AT?'
[ATSR]: _AT_SYSTEM_RECOVER_OTA_SIGNATURE_
unknown command 'ATSV'
ATSP
[ATSE]: _AT_SYSTEM_EDIT_REGISTER_
[ATSE] Usage: ATSE=REGISTER[VALUE]
unknown command 'ATSY'
unknown command 'ATSU'
unknown command 'ATSO'
[ATSC]: _AT_SYSTEM_CLEAR_OTA_SIGNATURE_
[ATSG]: _AT_SYSTEM_GPIO_TEST_
[ATSG] Usage: ATSG=PINNAME(ex:A0)

Great. Keep in mind that if you flash something that doesn't work, you might never be able to enter flashing mode again, because of no A0 pin.

Good point. It might still be there, but it's all so tiny and I don't have proper tools for that

And with that in mind, just to double check, does this look okay to you? Just to get an OTA ready esphome on there:
esphome:

I got a few warnings with that:

ESPHome doesn't support OTA for RTL8720C. You won't be able to update via OTA yet, however you should be able to flash via UART in most cases - LibreTiny should automatically reboot to download mode when you start flashing.
Note that this is not stable software yet. Rebooting to download mode might not work and you'll have trouble getting the board flashed again.
These linker warnings, however, are usually okay.

Oh okay. Maybe it's a good idea to error out on ota: then?
Is there any mechanism to enter download mode? With esphome's boot loop detection? Spam some key on uart tx upon boot?

ota: can stay, it will do no wrong. Uploading any file won't work anyway.
Download mode should enter automatically when you connect the flasher program. It detects a specific byte sequence.

Of course it didn't work...

I'll fetch my equipment from the office and try to trace later. Maybe I can find A0, I do have a full flash backup
