I can assure you that the CP210x chips don't understand nor care about any of the data bytes going through the channel. They are just simple serial bridges: byte in, byte out - each byte is just like any other byte from its point of view, hence it should never freeze up on specific data. So no reason to avoid the chips, just sounds like a bug on the iOptron side.
I'll just leave it there is not much more point in discussing this specific issue

That is indeed crazily expensive. Looking at probably $250 minimum (after delivery) just for a kit of parts and board! Wow, no offense to them but they should get employment at the mount's manufacturer with that mentality
