Back up your data and give it a shot! The github page for pcm's BSP-based uboot has the terminal command for writing the a file to the SPI, and a few other users have added a wiki page with steps one can take to help recover a bad flash on SPI. Once you've got this uboot on SPI, you should able to install and boot directly from the NVMe, w/o splitting partitions among drives.
