Honestly, I don't see the value in it for small embedded systems.

u-boot has a specific job and is compiled for a specific board. There is
no need for multi board booting.

I think moving things DM is OK, but that's because it's all done in the 
same code that gets compiled today (no separate build steps).

And...then you have 3 things to customize:
1. config file (legacy .h file)  because not everything is moved into 
   Kconfig
2. menuconfig (for the stuff that has been moved)
3. DT (for a few things)
