Yes it would be nice, in theory we could replace some parts with
remoteproc maybe not the loader yet, not sure how much rpmsg will fit.

I don't know the stance of TI on this.

But basically we have a loader in kernel space that prepares the
baseimage to be dumped in memory, that can be done in user space or
better to distribute a baseimage that just needs to be dumped in
memory, however there might be some constraints that need to be solved
like the tight coupling between the driver and the loader, the current
format of the base image, the size and how it expands to fit in the
6MB of shm, and so on, not to mention the ability to load dynamic
code.

I guess it would be better to dive in the code and see.
