Yes. "e" in "eLILO" stands for "EFI".

But then (U)EFI is an OS in itself, you can boot Linux directly from it, no bootloader needed:

Would it be accurate to describe (U)EFI as being like MS-DOS (i.e. single-tasking), but running in protected mode?

UEFI technically isn't single-tasking, it has a task scheduler.

Indeed, UEFI is the modern DOS.
