if i got this explanation correctly, i think it's possible for current pinephone and pp pro already. essentially just messing with partitions and some coding that provides basic phone app/os. someone still needs to do this. and that other o.s. is in bigger partition.
in android world, storage memory has lot of partitions, and usually one partition only is updated or written at the time. whereas in pinephone, whole storage mem is written. because different function are separated into separate partitions in android, therefore android tend to be recoverable. some partition are read/write and others are read only.
even for basic phone o.s., i think it still needs some few gigabytes of storage, so it cannot be flashed into spi boot.
