What other Sony devices will jolla support? just introduced Xperia 5. It would be nice to have one with sailfish os! Or compact xz2. My xperia x is retiring slowly, so it would fit a new piece.

As the Xperia 1 not part of the open device program. So no SailfishOS for it.
Could be that Sony will be closing the Open Device Program alltogether and that marks the end of consumer SailfishOS devices.
Yes. Already Sony has stopped selling phones in many countries. Is there any other OEM which supports a program similar to Sony?

Finding a smaller phone is hard nowadays.

Xperia XA2 is actually the 'small' device available. With some week of use you will get used, even thanks to that curved back...

Xperia 1 and Xperia 5 are parts of the Sony Open Device program (good start) but they are only supported with Android 10.0 and Sailfish today requires Android 9.0. It might be a problem to get a port.

Of course, it is desirable to be able to install Sailfish on other devices. Nevertheless, I think that first of all the existing devices should be freed of bugs before further resources are wasted. Personally, I wished, for example, a smaller device. Maybe 4.5 or 4.7 inches. It is a question of prioritization.
