Afaik a lot of bootloaders are proprietary/wonky, a lot of SOCs run custom bootloaders.

However if you do manage to boot things up, hardware with open-source drivers should just work, for example Jeff Geerling has couple of videos on youtube about running his RPi with external AMD graphics cards connected via PCIe, and it works.
