I wonder if the reason that the Feather has its own board type but Huzzah uses the generic board is because of the on-board usb-serial adaptor and it's auto-reset circuit. The IDE may have to send extra commands to the usb chip to make it perform auto-reset. With the Huzzah, you have to perform the reset for program upload yourself by pressing two buttons. WeMos D1 mini has a similar arrangement to Feather, and it too has its own board type.
Looking at the circuits connected to the RST pin in the Feather compared to the D1 mini, i can see very few differences. I can't see anything that would make wake from deep sleep unreliable on the Feather. Perhaps @reaper7 or @AdrianM could spot something.
