You can boot off a USB drive.

IIRC bootloader and kernel have to be on SD card so you always boot from there but can easily pivot to the USB drive for the root partition.

Nope, it can boot from USB without SD card.

Correction: it seems like RPi4 doesn't boot from USB or Ethernet yet; they will release a firmware update to turn it on.

"Support for these additional bootmodes will be added in the future via optional bootloader updates. The current schedule is to release PXE boot first, then USB boot."
