I've not seen much issue from UEFI beyond mobo manufacturers occasionally releasing really buggy firmware.
UEFI also permits rather advanced features. For example, if a mobo manufacvtorer wanted to, they could theoretically code in support for using a USB monitor for the bootup display, enabling firmware access without any video adapter on board at all.
One can quite easily add new boot-loaders to the EFI system partition, and add the entries to NVRAM, making it possible to add add custom pre-boot diagnostics programs, or a small direct-boot emergency recovery kernel, or other fancy features.
