My last experience installing and booting from NVMe was a real nightmare. By the way, the same on a RPI 4 took some 45 minutes and with the PBP 15 days (thanks to confinement).
I think that when a solution for a problem is reached, it should go to a sub-page of the wiki or a pdf that you can have and use.
Sorry if what I say sounds as critic, it is not my intention. Just a small contribution from a non expert user.
Thanks you all for your effort.

After bricking my PBP more than one time with flashing U-Boot i handled it in this way
- install partitionmanger or gparted
- format the NVMe and make one partition with EXT4 on it
- mount the newly created NVMe partition to /mnt
- "cd /mnt"
- "mkdir dev proc sys mnt"
- "rsync -aHxv --numeric-ids --progress /* /mnt --exclude=/dev --exclude=/proc --exclude=/sys --exclude=/mnt"
- start partitionmanager KDE or gparted
- edit the partition and rename the original partition label from "MNJRO_ROOT to MNJRO_ROOT_1 on the SD card or for me on the EMMC
- edit and rename the partition label of the NVMe partition to MNJRO_ROOT
- apply all changes and reboot
Mission accomplished and no need for u-boot updates or renewals
NO warranties that it works the same way on other PBP's of other users !!!!
