If I had more flash, I would like that too, just for kicks.
With the amount of flash we have, sharing the kernel and initrd doesn't seem like a bad idea.
If the cmdline for the normal mode can be modified easily by updating the cbfs with flashrom, I don't see any drawback to using kexec from the shared kernel

In my ideal scenario, coreboot would have the 2 images (normal, fallback) both starting the same payload (a minimal linux kernel) to save space.
at Los Alamos we found we wanted a fallback kernel and initramfs too.
But YMMV.
But your overall picture is much like what we had at Los Alamos and it works really well.
