Are you suggesting that the needs have changed here?
My only concern here would be to keep rebase/merge et al more functional, but it's probably already too late for that in the current state.
Unfortunately, without significant amounts of testing, there is no guarantee that any given configuration in the Chromium HEAD or coreboot upstream HEAD will actually work on a given hardware. for every single build. If you want something that is tested for a given product, you will have to use a product firmware branch.
If you want to make changes to a given configuration, you will have to have equipment and knowledge in place to test and fix up your configuration yourself. That's certainly not something you'd get for free in any open source project, and particularly not in a hardware related project.
I suppose, once the trees are somewhat synchronized, one could build a merge commit between both histories to create a new baseline - and redo that every now and then.
The idea is indeed that the pain will go away if synchronization happens more regularly in both directions.
