Ok I got my starfive visionfive2 to boot, using their official 202306 debian image. Unzipped the image from the SD folder and flashed it with BalenaEtcher. I wasn't seeing any output printed, but after I watched a video that told me the way to put the boot pins, I followed their instruction to make switch 1 away and 2 is towards the number of switch.

After the usual boot I was presented with a graphical login!

got me logged in.

The first thing I did was follow the quick start guide's instructions to resize the SD card system, which worked while it was running just fine. The key was an interactive fdisk followed by a resize2fs. Here's how it all looked before:
