Updating cores
Lakka I believe formats its SD/Main Drive as a Linux filesystem that cannot be accessed easily from a non-Linux device. More info here: https://github.com/libretro/Lakka-LibreELEC/wiki/Accessing-Lakka-filesystem Note: Samba and FTP allow you to wirelessly move files like BIOS files (which go in the storage/system folder as it appears when connected via Samba or FTP, btw) to your Lakka system, and I recommend these methods.

Streaming/Gaming Client OS?
If you're looking for retro, I'd recommend Lakka OS. I've used it in the past, the only real issue was trying to get to the BIOS/formatting the drive (but I was using a Laptop with fastboot enabled).

Imac mid 2011
Plenty of uses! Install a modern MacOS with Open Core Legacy Patcher (https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/MODELS.html). Install Lakka and turn it into a retro gaming device (https://www.lakka.tv). Etc etc. Your model has a Thunderbolt connection so you can get an Thunderbolt enclosure + SSD and install the OS there. It’ll be a lot faster than the internal HDD. Of course you can swap the internal drive but with iMacs it’s always a hassle.
- No wifi or bluetooth on Laptop running lakka. Worked previously on windows 10. Any ideas on how to get drivers?

Using emuELEC. Doom works. I just can't figure out how to get mods to work.
Considering Chocolate and LZDoom, both can work but what you would want is LZDoom for .pk3 files. There should be a guide here.

PowKiddy Y6 and EmuELEC upgrading
Ships with EmuELEC 4.3. Should I be upgrading to the latest version (currently 4.6) or leave it at 4.3?There seems to be a lot of bug fixes and stability improvements in the 4.6 update but I'm not sure if they would be a benefit to the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" 4.3.

Super Console X Pro - Stuck Loading
As far as I know most of those boxes are just using Amlogic processors. You could try installing an emu distro such as EmuELEC on a new MicroSD card and seeing if it boots.
