So the justifications you stated are as below, right?
1. arm64 and risc-v don't have purgatory
2. your host server will save 0.2s during bootup

For purgatory verification, I think Vivek and Eric have clearly shared
what it is and why it is needed. Kernel is loaded beforehand, then
later trigger jumping. The loaded kernel/initramfs could be stumped into
by any behaviour of running kernel. When this kind of stumping happend,
it's very difficult to position. Obviously the verification is necessary.
arm64 and risc-v skipping is a flaw we should fix, but not a shinning
point other ARCH need study on the contrary.

Knowing above, you will definitely feel the saved 0.2 is not worthy of
mentioning.

So I would say this is not convincing. Sorry about that.
