68 timers and GPIOs I’m not so sure about, but 64 high-functionality smart GPIO pins is very much a solved problem.

Parallax Propeller 2 (P2X8C4M64P) chip has all of that. It has identical I/O on each pin, so you got 64 8-bit DACs, ADCs, comparators, complex double timers, so on and so forth. Stick two of them and it will do just about anything you need and then some. It’s a very powerful part. There are a couple of lower-cost carrier boards for it.

Development, in a pinch, can be done without any special software. It comes with a FORTH interpreter in the bottominternal boot ROM if you feel adventurous :) It’s a perfect pastime if all you got is a bit of power, a serial terminal, a notebook (paper kind), P2, and time to pass in a cabin in the mountains :)
