Would solve problems like the stop bit.
By the way this chip seems to also provide RS232/485 interface and GPIO.
Project is already using the SC16IS850L

There is no problem with the IRDA, it will work.

The idea here was to use the IRDA transmitter to mimic the e.g. TV remote control by making the ~40kHz (or 38kHz) carrier signal with bit pattern.
