I still want to read up more on the subject, but I was under the impression, that the EFI-support in U-Boot was/is supposed to remove most pain-points from the above list of valid points.
The boot-sequence (I thought) that is becoming the new "standard" is: B1 ... U-Boot -> grub-arm-efi -> whatever_OS.

In the mobile sector, most don't ship u-boot but some other bootloader, in this case mostly because u-boot doesn't support GUI operation/output which is vital for a phone.
