>Yeah, it seems like this would have to be accomplished with a Management Engine application or something of the sort, otherwise probably easy to circumvent.

The correct solution to this is secureboot. No need for ME shenanigans.

If secureboot is functioning, then the wrong firmware wouldn't be installed to begin with by the time OS X gets to it, because it would not be allowed to run.
