Personally I think we should encourage separate ESP and firmware partitions.
I tend to agree here.
Also, not directly related but someone referred me to the design spec used by the OpenCompute ONIE (Open Network Install Environment) project.

The u-boot (for PPC/ARM) specifications are quite interesting: https://opencomputeproject.github.io/onie/design-spec/uboot_hw_requirements....
The non-volatile storage requirements and formats was also interesting for things like MAC addresses: https://opencomputeproject.github.io/onie/design-spec/hw_requirements.html
There's likely a bunch of things we could glean and find useful as there's certainly some cross over in this.
