Yes, GUI programming is great for beginners and casual programmers, or even just when you want to slap something quick or simple together, or make the initial skeleton.
I like your idea of a re-using the serial comms on the pine64 for startup diagnostics. I'd be tempted to use it anyway, because if you extent the functionality of the MCU as I think you plan to, you could also use the serial link to control it's IO pins for other stuff. Or just use it as a dedicated power and startup status indicator. Oh the possibilities
