Eighth stepper could be changed to 8 dependent multiplexed. Based on STM32F303VDT6.

Some comments.

DIAG input used to detect problems with TMC drivers (multiplexed by MUL outputs). Each motor have next control signals: EN - enable driver, DIR - rotation direction, STEP - microstepping clock signal, L0 - zero end-switch, L1 - max end-switch (or Cable Select for SPI-based TMC). MOTMUL - external multiplexer or other GPIO signals (e.g. to manage of 64 stepper motors). ADC1 in - four external ADC signals (0..3.3V). SPI1 used to manage TMC drivers in case of SPI-based. USART1 - to connect external something (master or slave). OUT - external GPIO. USART2 Tx used to manage USART-based TMC (numbers 0-3). USART3 Tx used to manage USART-based TMC (numbers 4-7). SCRN - control signals for SPI TFT screen. BTN - external button, keypad, joystick etc. Two of them could be connected to I2C devices. USB and CAN used as main device control buses. SW used as debugging/sewing; also (I remember about USB pullup only after end of PCB design) SWDIO used as USB pullup (so the device have no USB in debug mode - when BTN0 and BTN1 are pressed at start).

Debug with SWD

Press both BTN0 and BTN1 and turn on device. In this case the USB won't be activated and you can use SWD. If both these buttons not pressed on poweron, device will use SWDIO as USB pullup, so SWD connection in this mode won't be available.
