I got it from https://blog.luigi311.com/furilabs-flx1/. Furi labs specifically links to this article on their website, so I would assume it's factually correct.

I see where it says the phone is a Halium-based device, but then under Android support, it says they use their own Waydroid fork. So, I guess those aren't mutually exclusive. Good to know, thanks.

Yeah, Waydroid is just an application and will run on normal amd64 and arm64 linux devices just fine. Having it setup from the factory is just a nice quality of life feature.

I'm not really clear on what you were disagreeing with, then.
