Hi, I wanted to ask if coreboot is capable of booting macOS. There are bootloaders like clover and opencore that does the job but does coreboot do this thing with more efficiency?
coreboot doesn't boot the OS, it performs hardware initialization and passes control to a payload (SeaBIOS, GRUB, Tianocore, etc. - these are payloads). So you would have to use something like clover anyway.

One would use coreboot + Tianocore + OpenCore. Whether a particular board has the required hardware support, or whether coreboot provides the firmware structures MacOS requires is another story (and yes, I know part of that is what OpenCore works around).
FWIW I know of a few users with Acer c720 and Dell 13 7310 Chromebooks running MacOS on my current coreboot 4.12/Tianocore-based firmware using OpenCore
