What's my best option for ending my reliance on the "fallback UEFI bootloader"?

I’m willing to accept “Just keep buying new motherboards until you get one that fits your requirements and doesn’t hate Qubes” as a solution. I’d just like to check that there’s definately no other options first.

Then just do it already and stop causing yourself unnecessary headaches.
