I wonder if it wouldn't be better to make hwpacks include just one bootloader (whichever is chosen by the hwpack author)?

This could make the transition difficult. Some users (like LAVA) require U-Boot, whereas others might want to use the new UEFI.

Also, I think we should support placing multiple versions of the bootloader in the boot partition, together with multiple device-tree blobs. Otherwise, for Versatile Express, we will soon end up having to produce 6 images each month. (6 is the permutation of {A5, A9, A15 CPUs} x {real hardware, fast models} and there are other combinations likely in the future.)
