At this point I'm not even picky about which custom ROM I run.
What I'm looking for is a phone that has a very small form factor and there's any custom ROM that officially supports it.

Ideally, with a 3-4" screen
Must be <5"
Must be officially supported. (for unsupported builds, I know of a few options already)

Are there any? Thanks for any suggestions or help!

Pixel 4 is a good choice imo, it's what I'm currently using. It has a Snapdragon 855 with 6GB RAM which is very speedy day-to-day. Face unlock which works even in pitch black. Camera is great, even compared to current generation phones. it's end-of-life from Google but it's still officially supported by LineageOS and gets lots of commits.

it has a 5.7" screen, though with it having minimal bezels most of that is height so it's not a big wide phablet type thing.

if you already have alternatives in mind I'd ignore my advice, but otherwise you'll probably find it difficult getting still supported devices with displays in the 3-4" range unfortunately, just the way the market seems to have gone with phone designs :/
