With the number of people using Manjaro on these machines now, these kind of problems are very likely to be fixed soon.
Otherwise, consider that Debian was the default OS prior to Manjaro. You could still use Debian. And it's not like that's been stagnating since Manjaro came along.
Here's what I did when I ran into problems with the OS on my eMMC: I gathered up all the stray MicroSD cards round the house and installed Chrome OS, Armbian, Manjaro, Android, and a few others on them. I had to turn off the eMMC, but it gave me a chance to play with the PBP with different operating systems before I sussed the eMMC troubles I created.
