How much of a difference does it make to use Coreboot rather than AMI? (I'm running OPNsense on a Protectli box currently...)

It really depends. Coreboot is open source and you can review the code, it's also much lighter (though fewer things can be tweaked), vs AMI which we don't know/can't check what it contains.

For me, wanting as much open source in the stack as possible, it gives me peace of mind, but it really depends on the individual.

All I can really suggest, is to take a look at the Coreboot site[0] and see if it sounds like something you'd want.
