"Linguistically, the very small number of surviving words in the Paeonian language have been variously connected to its neighboring languages - Illyrian and Thracian; (and every possible Thraco-Illyrian mix in between)."

Why are you speaking in absolutes, whiff of bulgar? So the researchers aren't sure, but mr. 50 year old romoi gypsy is confident, aight.
They were most likely Thracian with a bit of Illyrian, or Illyro-Thracian mix, like a sort of mixed ground, similar to Macedonians.

Because no Ancient author includes Paeonia in Illyria. Simple as that, and you can look up any map of Illyria you like, ancient or modern...Nope, the Macedonians were Greek:

Ancient Macedonian, the language of the ancient Macedonians, was spoken in the kingdom of Macedonia during the 1st millennium BC and belongs to the Indo-European language family. It gradually fell out of use during the 4th century BC, marginalized by the use of Attic Greek by the Macedonian aristocracy, the Ancient Greek dialect that became the basis of Koine Greek, the lingua franca of the Hellenistic period.[4]
The surviving public and private inscriptions found in Macedonia indicate that there was no other written language in ancient Macedonia but Ancient Greek,[5][6] and the recent epigraphic discoveries in the Greek region of Macedonia, such as the Pella curse tablet, suggest that ancient Macedonian might have been a variety of the North Western Ancient Greek dialects.[7]
