It is all answered in the large amount of text you quoted, if you read
it carefully.
The old kernel+inird does not go away, so you disable secure boot and
just use the good old methods, or worst case you use a recovery disk
(or USB drive, or whatever you use to install) if you damaged the boot
partition.

Anything that is not explicitly supported likewise will use the old
kernel + custom initrd, you just disable secure boot.

Simo.
