"Linux from scratch" involves Linux, not Libreboot, not Grub (just to mention instances of BIOS/UEFI and bootloader).

We already have means to test the new OS.

There is real point in writing a new one until the OS is complete, is there?

If you’re satisfied using a third party bootloader, and one exists, there’s no point writing one ever.
