Hey!
I am using STM32F407VET6 board: https://stm32-base.org/boards/STM32F407VET6-STM32-F4VE-V2.0
This board has a 16-bit FSMC interface.
This interface makes it easier to work with the TFT display and significantly speed up drawing on the display.
I found the only library that works with this interface: https://github.com/stevstrong/Adafruit_TFTLCD_16bit_STM32
The library is running and the display shows an image.
But this library only works with Arduino_STM32 core: https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/Arduino_STM32
But this is not a complete core. Support for F407 series microcontrollers is very limited. Many functions do not work correctly or do not work at all.
Arduino_Core_STM32 core is very good: https://github.com/stm32duino/Arduino_Core_STM32
But I did not find support for TFT displays with FSMC in it.
Can you modify the library to support 16-bit displays with FSMC interface?

I've got an Open-Smart 16 pin ILI9488 3.5inch 320x480 "expansion module" from e-bay.

I hooked it up to a Black Pill STM32F411CE.
I looked at the .cpp and saw it briefly mentioned the ILI9488 but I'm not sure if it supports it. (I don't really understand the code.) I'm probably doing something wrong.
I ran the GraphicsTest_320x480_SMT32.ino and it looks like it is communicating with each other but there is nothing on the tft screen. In the Serial Monitor I am seeing this;

I have an ILI9225 Parallel TFT 2.0" display with the following wiring, but i only see white screen with STM32F401 MCU.

D0-D7 -> PA0->PA7, TFT_CS -> PB8, TFT_DC -> PB5, TFT_RST -> PB9, TFT_WR -> PB1, TFT_RD -> PB0

I use this config:

#define TFT_DATA GPIOA
#define TFT_PORT PORT_LOW
#define TFT_D0 LL_GPIO_PIN_0
#define TFT_D1 LL_GPIO_PIN_1
#define TFT_D2 LL_GPIO_PIN_2
#define TFT_D3 LL_GPIO_PIN_3
#define TFT_D4 LL_GPIO_PIN_4
#define TFT_D5 LL_GPIO_PIN_5
#define TFT_D6 LL_GPIO_PIN_6
#define TFT_D7 LL_GPIO_PIN_7

#define TFT_RD LL_GPIO_PIN_0
#define TFT_WR LL_GPIO_PIN_1
#define TFT_RS LL_GPIO_PIN_5
#define TFT_CS LL_GPIO_PIN_8
#define TFT_RST LL_GPIO_PIN_9

An ILI9341 display works fine with the same setup.
Is the ILI9225 display not supported?

(The ILI9225 display also works with the TFT_eSPI library)

readReg40(BF)=0x0
readReg32(D4)=0x0
readReg40(EF)=0x1818
readReg32(FE)=0x0
readReg32(04)=0x0
readReg32(D3)=0x0
readReg16(0)=0x9226
Device ID: 0x9226
Width: 176
Height: 220

connet lcd data pin to a GPIO pot 0~7pin，then change the function STM32_TFT_8bit::write8 to:

void STM32_TFT_8bit::write8(uint8_t bytes) {
    TFT_DATA->ODR = bytes;
}

write speed will more fast, here is my benchmark result, left is after change, my board is F411CEU6

Code in example doesn't work on stm32f401ccu6 v3.0 + display ILI9486 with core from ST

After the code LCD_ID_Reader.ino is executed, i.e. the pins are connected correctly, the ID is readable.

reg(0x00D3) 00 00 94 86.ILI9341, ILI9488

I connected black pill to display as below:

#define TFT_RD         LL_GPIO_PIN_0 // Px0
#define TFT_WR         LL_GPIO_PIN_1 // Px1
#define TFT_RS         LL_GPIO_PIN_5 // Px5
#define TFT_CS         LL_GPIO_PIN_6 // Px6
#define TFT_RST        LL_GPIO_PIN_7 // Px7

White screen.

I connected black pill to display as below:

#define TFT_RD         LL_GPIO_PIN_3 // Px3
#define TFT_WR         LL_GPIO_PIN_4 // Px4
#define TFT_RS         LL_GPIO_PIN_5 // Px5
#define TFT_CS         LL_GPIO_PIN_6 // Px6
#define TFT_RST        LL_GPIO_PIN_7 // Px7

Screen white also...
Same hardware work good with TFT_eSPI and pins as below:

// common "MCUfriend" shields
#define TFT_CS   PB8  // Chip select control pin
#define TFT_DC   PB7  // Data Command control pin
#define TFT_RST  PB9  // Reset pin

#define TFT_WR   PB6  // Write strobe control pin 
#define TFT_RD   PB0  // Read pin

#define TFT_D0   PA0  // 8 bit parallel bus to TFT
#define TFT_D1   PA1
#define TFT_D2   PA2
#define TFT_D3   PA3
#define TFT_D4   PA4
#define TFT_D5   PA5
#define TFT_D6   PA6
#define TFT_D7   PA7

I changed in the library TFT_eSPI pins as for the library and everything worked.

#define TFT_RD   PB0  // Read pin
#define TFT_WR   PB1  // Write strobe control pin 
#define TFT_DC   PB5  // RS/CD - Data Command control pin
#define TFT_CS   PB6  // Chip select control pin
#define TFT_RST  PB7  // Reset pin

#define TFT_D0   PA0  // 8 bit parallel bus to TFT
#define TFT_D1   PA1
#define TFT_D2   PA2
#define TFT_D3   PA3
#define TFT_D4   PA4
#define TFT_D5   PA5
#define TFT_D6   PA6
#define TFT_D7   PA7

When I changed the pins in various options for the library Arduino-STM32-8bitTFT nothing worked and the screen was still white.
You write that the library works with ILI9486, but I did not find initialization in the code, for ILI9481 only:
case 0x9481: //ILI9481
