Usually, you only need MACHINE to make sure the kernel and boot loader agree on the booting interface... this used to be what MACHINE meant: pc98 had a very different interface than i386 as well as different standard devices. It was hard to detect the difference in time to divthe right thing, so they had different MACHINE names. But times have changed and we can detect efi vs bios boot and do the right thing. MACHINE has gone from all you need to know how to make an image to being one of many factors to know how to build an image... So I'd love a better word for that.... Sorry I focused on whimsy instead of substance in my last message...
