I cant add too much as I do not have too much plugged in.
All my comments are Linux (if applicable) - have never booted Android on mine.
HDMI audio - fine with 0.7.9 Ayufan release and say kernel 4.4.138-1100 so the hardware is fine, other releases/kernel versions are less reliable!
3.5mm audio - yet to hear mine under any config. There was 1 report of it working but the author has yet to explain how.
My minimal test of the USB-C host was fine: plugged in a dongle/splitter gadget and could run a few USB 2 bits OK. Frank Mankel has done more throughput tests - would guess that includes the USB3 options but haven't checked.
The PCIe needs a book! For starters NVMe/SSD cards seem to be a no brainer - I have 2 different models, neither of which is Pine64, and have never missed a beat. I think there have been 1 or 2 hiccups with the Pine64 SATA card but cant find an immediate link - may well have been user specific rather than general. There are a couple of threads on broader PCIe cards - very few are a raging/unqualified success. e.g. here.
MIPI CAM is alleged to work under Android as per here - haven't seen a report of it actually working though
