Though T/O in EYW might be another story if carrying fuel for an alternate. The issue I could see in the cape islands are the taxiways, the 190 barely fits on some of them and the engines are over the grass, I’d imagine the gear track width of the 220 is wider.

The 220 is already doing EYW to BOS, but it's usually capped around 100 passengers and still has planned tech stops all the time.

Theres another piece to it however. If you fk it up, the end of runway 32 seamlessly goes into a parking pad of stressed concrete that will support an airplane, hence being a parking pad. You have an insurance policy of about 600 feet of extra pavement after the end of the runway if you over run it. Tower only opens the runway when there is no aircraft parked there. You don’t want to count on it obviously but it’s there.
look at a google maps image of the runway and you’ll see what I mean.
