How much probable this scenario will result in CPU being fried? even its kind of hard to completely discharge the battery if we are talking about normal usage.Yes it is.
All mosfet have capacitance, so need a resistor to discharge it. This to make sure the gate always low first time its powered on, so the DS are not bridged.
For this mod, the scenario happened when the battery are completely discharge, then recharge it using usbc, then the initial state of the mosfet are unknown, the DS could be bridged or not. If its bridged then the cpu 'not working', since the power are 'stolen' by those mosfet. Then the mosfet might burn, because of continuous high current flows on it.
Also this is not specific to any physical resistor being present, it should be any "resistance to ground" and the pico board itself already has that.
As myself experience this only once, found that the switch is completely dead no power whatsoever, after diassembly found that i need to touch the mosfet with bare hand to discharge it and it coming back to life. Lucky that this happened at the time of instalation.
Also that case happened when still using OnSemi, never again with AON, dont know if mosfet brand matters.

Thats kind of mosfet has been done on many pages back.I tried the new position of the mosfet in an OLED, works well, a bit fun but not super useful for Oleds models.
And I dunno why but on the next 2 switch I had to add 47ohms for dat0 otherwise slow mode or no boot on ofw and syscfw, black screen. Everything is ok after adding +47ohms (total 94ohms)
For resistor now the forum recomends 100, 47, 100 (d0, clk, cmd).
