Sorry, I can't answer the first question. I don't regard the Pi5 as a suitable SBC for battery operation (see above), though I do see a need for a 5V 5A UPS system, to cover mains power glitches or short outages.
The Pi5 does support USB-PD. What it doesn't support is any voltage other than 5V. This is to save board space and keep to the existing form factor.
Why do you want an alternative to the RPi PSU? It is high quality, low cost, available, and does the job. It is also a USB-PD supply, so it can power other equipment at higher voltages.
