Drivers won't work. According to my understanding, any unsupported operating system (those which are not signed by Apple -- even Boot Camp doesn't use the Windows UEFI certificate so Linux's shim won't work) cannot access stuff protected by the T2 chip. So it's definitely not a driver problem.

And apparently disabling secure boot still doesn't fix the issue -- see the Phronix updates[1]. I only found one article claiming you can get past over all the T2 "security" features[2], but they explicitly say (at the end of the article) that they haven't actually tested booting or installing Linux.
