Funny I had a similar idea to have a connector with all the
properties, but I failed to see how that would be of any help.

Do you mind an example of such an overlay? Judging by the spi
and i2c subnode, I guess it will amend the connector node and
fill in it's devices?

And all the child device properties will reference the connector,
correct?

uart/serial needed too?

For example:

my-device at 0 {
   reg = <0>;  // really needed? there is only one SPI CS line
   compatible = "my-device";
   reset-gpios = // may be left unset if it's optional, but what
                 // what if it is a required property and in hardware
                 // its connected to the RST pin of the module?
   other-gpios = <&connector 2>;
   vdd-supply = // what comes here? <&connector VCC_33>?
   interrupts-extended = <&connector 0 ..>;
}
