Interesting project. Slightly related is Ventoy [0].

Install Ventoy onto a USB disk drive and it will create a bootable partition that can mount your Ibootable images (including ISOs) onto your baremetal from the second partition it creates. In effect you can just load up a USB drive with ISOs and install onto baremetal from them. Super handy for distro hoppers and appealing if you don't want to fart around with network boot but just want to install something on a computer. I was trying to install Windows 11 and just wondered if there was an EFI thing that could just mount my USB, and Ventoy exists and works pretty well. I actually couldn't install windows without it on one system, just didn't like something about my installer media...
