Ah, Rob, forgot to mention(because you couldn’t read all my crap here :-). :
With the whole relevant msdos-partition-files of ubuntu 64-bit-server(they don’t use armstubs) copied over to our msdospartiton(but leaving armstus-gic in our config.txt),
I was able to boot Fbsd with modern firmware directly from SSD(hangs short before initializing pcie , short after gpio or so iirc)…
And that booted quite slow(because armstubs conflict with modern fw)   …
