I found a superb solution -- postmarket os. Boots like a charm and has instructions on their website on how to flash u-boot to SPI. Default passwd is 147147.
We might have different versions of the laptop. I ordered mine just a week ago and I noticed that most of the instructions/images from 2020 don't work. Also layout of motherboard is different.

I have a working SD card of the Mr Fixit Debian, and do know that it works without the eMMC. But an image to make the one that I have might not be readily available anymore.
Just going through the links in the wiki (which are terribly out of date), the first image I found today that just works is Diet Pi.
