.... it will not boot from the sd card "as shipped" there was a hint that there 'could be' a work around in the future.
Which post? The only mention of running an OS off an SD card I could find in a Pine64 blog post regarding the PinePhone Pro is this one where it says "Firefox opens in under 4 seconds on an OS running from SD card". Also see this and the following posts by megi where he writes about and improves bootloaders.
The RK3399 is perfectly able to boot from an SD card (as you apparently have experienced yourself with the PineBook Pro).
