It's used for the tianocore payload, indeed.
And yes, updating to a newer commit is fine.

That sounds like a reasonable guideline.
However if a release isn't fit for use as a coreboot payload, I'd go for
(not so) random commits that fix problems rather than stick to another
project's schedule and keep things broken.

The payload integration stuff is provided on a best-effort basis, so right
now "it builds and it boots on one system" is good enough.
If you want to support the default payload selection for your board(s),
I'll appreciate your effort, and we could tighten up the policy around it
(so that you, and others who volunteer to test, would have to sign off on
updates that might affect their supported systems).
Ideally we'd have automated hardware testing, but that's a sore point for
years now. :-(
