I tend to agree that serious consideration should be given to a half-day non-academic kindergarten/preschool. Ditch the in-school academics for at least another year.
My feelings exactly, because we're already used to all learning happening outside school anyway. If he's advanced and the schools are voluntarily recognizing it and offering radical solutions now, it stands to reason that those options will probably exist in a year or two when fit might be better.
It has been freeing to view school from the lens of pure social opportunity for a year or less, knowing that I have the power to step in and change our option as needed. It's less daunting than mapping out a longer term path.
(A friend has been ribbing me in PM about the image of me interviewing teachers and principals to find the one who would guarantee to teach DS the *least* [in their standard curriculum].)
