The performance of this software is so much over the top of the other similar software that, I think, would be very beneficial to add pen pressure sensitivity for size and opacity, and softer brush tip, so that higher resolution tiles can be painted.

Why? It is pixel art editor. Limited colors, limited canvas, no anti-aliasing at all. You want turn PyxelEdit into Photoshop?

Best thing about Pyxel are tlemaps, and if some simple brush engine is not hard to implement that would be great to create more hires 2d games

It could be useful for some things for sure, such as making smooth tapering strokes if pressure controls brush size. For opacity/flow I guess the need is not as big for pixel art.
I looked into adding tablet pressure support some time back. Then it was not natively supported by the AIR platform and required per platform plugins which made it too complex/brittle to be worth it. This was some time ago so I should check if support has improved since then.
