BLS means many config files instead of one, not zero config files.

Which ones? If you want to all you need is a single UKI in /EFI/Linux and everything is synthesized from that.

systemd-boot's automatic sourcing of UKIs isn't a BLS thing. This is BLS:

Type2 loader entries are just UKIs[1]. I don't know what you are implying with "systemd-boot's automatic sourcing of UKIs isn't a BLS thing"? Any way I try to interpret it, neither would the Type1 entries fall under the definition of automatic sourcing (neither anything any other bootloader does).
