https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bro#Pronoun
Bro is a pronoun because it's used to replace a noun. And it's a neopronoun because pronouns are a closed class in English. We don't call new nouns and adjectives neonouns or neoadjectives. In Japanese, pronouns are an open class and nouns frequently become pronouns. For example, the Japanese noun "self" (่ชๅ) has also become a first-person pronoun. Americans are doing something similar, turning nouns like "bro" and "blood" into third-person singular pronouns. HOWEVER you are correct that they lack a reflexive form (-self/-selves), which English personal pronouns usually have.
"One" used to just be a noun, but became a pronoun after the 1200s due to French influence.
Actually, "they" is also a neopronoun. It also comes from the 1200s, and this time from Norse.
