One possible way forward would be to use the same standards of the PC, running an initialisation system like UEFI into an hypervisor, or a simple single-core x64 co-processor.
Of course, a lot more work would need to be done for that to be useful and reproducible across vendors, but at least you wouldn't be perpetually 40+ years behind the curve.
