Overall, I would suggest 2 SDs or 2 Pis:
- one with PCP, which "guarantees" a nice audio experience
- one with a more general OS, maybe raspbian lite, where you can
install stuff easily and follow tutorials posted on the net

When you're happy with your software setup, if the stack does not look
like a hog that will steal all the CPU cycles or I/Os from squeezelite
and make sync derail, you can probably port it to piCore.
This system runs in RAM, so installing stuff on it is a bit
unconventional and there are less tutorials around. 
It's probably better to know the exact goal you want to achieve before
trying to extend piCore.

On a Pi3 running PCP, squeezelite takes about 3.5% of the CPU when
active. There is room to spare, for sure.
