Good news! Randomly I just tried to boot Manjaro off of a USB stick and it worked!! It is very slow, because the only spare USB I have is a piece of crap (ordered a new one to work with for now) but my pinebook pro is still alive!
Current status is that it will boot from USB, but not from SD or eMMC. I do not know about the NVMe, I bought the adapter from the pinestore on a whim but do not have one to test with. I do not have a serial cable, I intend to make one this weekend to try to gain more information from the eMMC boot. Thank you for the link I will include a 5V to 3.3V converter which I have plenty of.
Separately, I set the eMMC card up for my rockpro64 again with Manjaro (love this ARM distro) it booted without a problem.
