Update: Good news. Although the dev that I mentioned never came back another current dev setup a VM with aarch64 image and he showed me how to get past the one part I was tripping over for using LFS book on the rock64. Has to do with the toolchain and I won't bore anybody here with that. I helped him test the book changes he was working on by using real hw -the rock64. Happy to say the LFS v10 and development systemd books now produce an aarch64 based build.
On the Arch-manjaro front lima not panfrost is the driver name and it still is not very good for running a desktop on X or wayland at this time sadly on the rock64. I bought an Odroid N2+ and that does use panfrost but it also is a disappointment for use after the board being out for 2 years now. I do see it's being worked on atm so I do have more hope than on the rock64 desktop future.
