Hmm... not really.  For example (just off the top of my head): lost root
password.  Without it, you won't be able to set any "next boot is
special" option, so resetting root's password would now require rescue
media.

I'd say I'm against this part of your proposal.  I understand the
reasoning, but it just seems like too much restriction to shave off a
small amount of time.  You mentioned it "could take several seconds" for
EFI to initialize USB, but what is the normal time, for a typical
desktop or notebook with just a keyboard and mouse attached?
