Note the crystal doesn't really matter; the ESP32 normally uses a PLL to derive the CPU frequency from this, then divides the CPU frequency by an applicable number to get the 80MHz APB clk.

Why did I forget about the GPIO MUX?

You can route your SPI directly to pins without using the GPIO MUX matrix, so with it you can achieve higher speeds. I think all your answers are in fact in the red warning message.

Thanks a lot for the answers. Using this dummy flag I was able to produce 40 MHz at the MOSI.
