I don't think PC speakers are rare at all. I am responsible for over 100
desktops and every one of them has a PC speaker. Of course, they are all
Dells. But even the machines I built myself for my own use with Asus
mobos have PC speakers. I find it hard to believe there exist mobos that
don't have a PC speaker connector. The machine might not have anything
connected to it but the connector is there. It's like with serial
ports. There are plenty of mobos available with serial port header
blocks. You just have to buy a cable to get the DB9 port. You might
have to buy a PC speaker if you're building your own machine.
It's worth a couple of extra bucks to get a machine with a PC speaker
because then you can configure a grub init tune.

Furthermore, they tend to be buried in amongst all kinds of other
hardware. Is that really how you would want to orient your speaking monitor?
Deep in the bowels of some computer case?
I know I want to go exactly the opposite way. I've my audio out running
through a desktop Mackie mixer and usually talking through some quality
desktop speakers. If I need, I can route to some serious JBL IONs. I'm
contemplating adding Google Cast to my options.

Is there any way to get speakup to work through the PC speaker?

Pulseaudio is supposed to eliminate this problem,
If espeakup was running as the same user as the one who is logged in,
yes. But it'd mean you wouldn't have screen reading before logging in.
Under alsa both espeakup and speech-dispatcher are likely unable to
share the same hardware device.
Indeed, unless enabling the dmix plugin.
Using different sound boards is another solution indeed.
