WOW that looks cool !! 
Great job..

Thanks! It's been a huge amount of work and it's still only about halfway working but WebMIDI has been the answer to all my USB MIDI problems.

If you are reading this and you've been able to get the https://neuma.studio/rpi-midi-complete.html variation to work with Bluetooth, I am having issues pairing my Android Pixel 6a to my Pi. My goal is to control my GP-10 for program changes via an Android app.  I have also tried to pair to a Samsung S6 Lite with the same results. I am able to initiate pairing and both sides of the connection, but I can't ever get to the paired and connected status.

You might want to look into the CME WIDI uHost, a USB host device compatible with Boss/Roland USB, to BLE Bluetooth midi.
Very compact device, requires a small phone charger unit for power (5volt usb-c), and can connect to your Android, iPad, Mac os, or Windows systems, or to other Bluetooth midi devices.

Are you saying the CME WIDI uHost will function like a MIDX-10/20 for Roland/Boss devices?

Yes, but its interface is Bluetooth BLE Midi instead of 5 pin DIN Midi.
I have tried it on a few Boss/Roland USB ports and seems to work well.

Wait, what? This is big news!

Just to make sure I understand, are you saying I could get this, plug it into my GP-10, pair it with my iPad and use my guitar to control something like a Swam Saxaphone or any app expecting a midi signal? I was thinking I would have to use Jam Origin MIDI GUITAR 2 or something, but this would be fantastic and worth the price just to experiment.

Yes

Or use Primovasound MIDX-20
