SystemImageKit? - Paraplegic Racehorse - 03-01-2020

I was just browsing through some AppImage stuff and stumbled across this:
https://github.com/probonopd/SystemImageKit

It made me wonder if this isn't ideal for SBCs, phones, etc.

What if /boot/grub2 (uboot in our case?) existed on some small bit of NAND,
along with /boot/SystemExtensions (chip/board-specific binaries not yet in mainline kernel, lima, panfrost, etc)
while /boot/iso is a symlink to the SD card with live ISO images with mainline kernels,
and persistent $HOME/ resides on either SD card or installed eMMC.

Is this a viable future path for SBCs and devices like PinePhone/Tab?
