The RA8835 RA8875 is very different to the regular un-intelligent controllers.
And it has a whole set of "features"
Seriously, I would stick with the ILI9488. It is a useful size and performance.
It woud be nicer to have an SPI HX8357-D. Hey-ho. The ILI9488 is available and cheap.

Edit. Corrected the Raio part number.
