Help … What I’m missing?

I never used the PIO Cli this way, but intuitively, shouldn’t it be --board d1_mini sonoff_basic instead of passing the argument twice? This would somewhat explain the KeyError: 'BUILD_FLAGS' error.

No, that seems correct… you pass multiple --board if you want to set up multiple boards.

I wasn’t able to reproduce the error on my Windoze, so not sure what’s broken there. If it were me, and i didn’t care about debugging it, I’d just close Atom, delete the C:\users\donyo\.platformio\penv directory, and let the PlatformIO extension reinstall the PlatformIO core when Atom is restarted.

Note: I’m using VSCode, but ran the Atom version of the init command without issue.
