No, that's not correct. They get relocated to RAM like all other
U-Boot code and data.

Not to mentions boards where the environment resides in EEPROM or

It certainly does.

Actually the situation is very simple: if you know how to do it, just
use it - you will then also know when it does not make sense. If  you
have  to  ask questions to get booting from RAM goind, then keep your
fingers off, as you don;t have the qualification to use it.
