You could use this..

That will take a tiny space behind the screen, but then there are the 8 cables in the hinge to contend with.
Would 8 wires from a ribbon cable roll up and fit in the hinge?

I think a version of that with an FPC style connector and a small ribbon would do perfectly... (that's how the SP and DS screens work)
did you make the footprint for the screen yourself or was it in a library?

i made my own eagle library
https://github.com/moosepr/eaglez
got the pads for the charge/protect board (03962A.lbr), the zero with the smd pads that i use (RPI-Zero.lbr) the 2.2/2.8 ili9341 screens (ili9341.lbr) and the 1.44" 128x128 screen (untested ST7735S.lbr) and then there is one for a smd piezo that i bought (PKLCS1212E4001.lbr)

I found some tiny smd buttons
Bourns 7914g
Clicky, but silicone tops so they are not to noisy
Minifig Micky for scale

Not bad, but probably still too thick. While desoldering some cart ports from DS boards I noticed that the start/select buttons on that are the same type as the SP. I'll try and see if they come off nicely and can be re-purposed.
Edit:
Or something like this:

Moose, I'm using your ILI minimal board with a bare 2.8" tft for my GBA SP build. I used very small smd tactile buttons. Having trouble with space for a usb dac though.

I would still prefer a GBA bard over a SP, the hand placement is so much better and intuitive. SP gives me cramps

I've made a custom 'super' AIO board for the GBA SP. It's done and working, just need to finish finding a battery to fit. I'll post it soon when it's completed.
