I just tried to boot off a usb-c microsd reader, but I have no clue if that would have been expected to work at all...

I think this would only work, if you have something on one of the 2 storages, which initalizes usb support and looks for additional boot instructions through the usb.There seems to be some command for usb boot tho, when you cancel autoboot through the serial console.
I'd expect it to work in a slave device mode tho, receiving data from a computer, rather than acting as host trying to read from an usb device.
I could very well be wrong tho.
