Electrons floating on a solid neon exhibit long charge coherence times, making them attractive for hybrid quantum systems. When combined with high-quality, high-impedance superconducting resonators and a local magnetic field gradient, this platform enables strong charge--photon and spin--charge coupling-key ingredients for scalable spin qubit architectures. In this work, we demonstrate that NbTiN nanowire resonators maintain high quality factors around 10^5 after depositing solid neon onto the resonators and subsequently loading electrons onto the neon surface, validating their suitability for electrons-on-neon platforms. Building on these experimental results, we theoretically analyze micromagnet designs and coupling strategies that can enable spin-photon interactions in this platform. Our analysis outlines performance targets for next-generation devices, showing that, at the charge sweet spot, spin qubit gate fidelities exceeding 99.99% for single-qubit operations and 99.9% for two-qubit operations are achievable with natural neon.
