I just read on the wiki that the PinePhone Pro EMMC has a higher boot priority than the SD card. Why did you do this? I have had several installations on the PinePhone become unbootable after an update and this means that the first time that happens, my phone becomes a paperweight.
The decision is by Rockchip for the RK3399.
It is the same for the RockPro64 and Pinebook pro.
It is perfectly possible on all the (Pine64) RK3399 devices to temporarily disable the eMMC during boot to recover a "brick".
- PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb daily driver, Tow-boot with pmOS/SXMO on eMMC
- PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, Tow-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO on eMMC
- ROCKPro64 v2.1 2GB, 16Gb eMMC retired in favour of a fruity upgrade

Just a different Boot priority order I think, If your eMMC is Not bootable, --->Then it should pick the sd card If the sd card is bootable.

FWIW, I and others have found that our PPP's will boot to SD without doing anything, other than inserting the SD card. I don't know why this would be. After I booted into ArchLinux Phosh, I went ahead and wiped out the eMMC as per the wiki, so I can't test that anymore. But, it DID boot to SD without pushing any buttons at all.

I know a lot about a few things, a little about a lot of things and am ignorant of an unknown number of things.
basically , the PPPEE , will check the emmc for boot ,
The preloaded manjaro has a special version of uboot that will check SD First before booting itself , but if you wipe it and nothing is on the emmc then the SD will also boot ,
if you flash something else to the emmc then the SD won't boot and if it brick then you need to press the reset button under the cover to boot back on a sd card .. so yeah really easy in all scenario
