I just tried tow-boot with a recent image of mobian-installer, one of the August releases. Over a dozen boots with and without the keyboard case and it hasn't missed yet. From my experience so far it is more reliable than jumpdrive. Though I have been using the same version of jumpdrive since it was announced in this forum or the wiki, cannot remember. The issue I've had with jumpdrive is failing to boot altogether. This may be due to the MicroSD card on my Pinephone needing to be pulled back out about the thickness of a human hair or two, I haven't figured out if the issue is strictly physical or software too.

Like Zebulon I do full eMMC clones and tow-boot has so far been very reliable for August releases of Mobian.
Quartz64, RockPro64, PinePhone Mobian, PineBook Pro, PineTime, and all the trimmings that make FOSS fun.
