At the moment that is the best way - same as linked here from the wiki except using NVMe.

If you stick to SDcard for initrd there are fewer complications if you switch to 4.18 or 4.19 kernel. And remove eMMC completely. Remember to keep /boot synchronised between SDcard and sda.

At some stage, when uboot is modded to load from sda (or NVMe), then the SDcard will be redundant as uboot can be put in the SPI flash.
  • ROCKPro64 v2.1 2GB, 16Gb eMMC for rootfs, SX8200Pro 512GB NVMe for /home, HDMI video & sound, Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. Arch (6.2 kernel, Openbox desktop) for general purpose daily PC.
  • PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, daily driver, rk2aw & U-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO & Arch/phosh on eMMC
  • PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb, Tow-boot with Arch/SXMO on eMMC
