Would you buy an AMD/Intel board with coreboot?
Libreboot would actually be a backwards approach if anything, oreboot looks to be the direction that people are heading in as you can see in the notes it's intended to be used with no binary blobs.

I'm not specialist but I know about fork Coreboot but rewrite in Rust lang oreboot fork in Rust Coreboot

Can Rust do Computer Graphics and ML?
That's just an unbased claims. People have written bootloader in rust and the linux kernel is also considering adopting Rust. None of this would happen if Rust cannot interface the hardware or is turing complete.

UEFI vs BIOS. How much does it actually matter now of days?
Long story short, it appears there is no way to get started with UEFI (cue more downvotes). I've even spent a week carefully copying code beginning here: https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootloader/blob/main/src/bin/uefi.rs only to discover that nothing displays to the screen. There is an error somewhere in the 500 lines required to print a character to the screen, and it's impossible to tell where it is.

Need help locating learning material. Interested in trying to develop a bootloader using Rust.
You can also take a look at the upcoming version of the bootloader crate, which has UEFI support: https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootloader/pull/130 . It is not documented very well yet, but maybe it helps already. The UEFI entry point function is here .The #[entry] macro of the uefi crate just makes the function a pub extern "efiapi" fn. The function is named efi_main because that's the default entry point name for Rust's built-in UEFI targets (e.g. x86_64-unknown-uefi). Theimageandst` function arguments are passed directly by the UEFI firmware.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing oreboot and bootloader you can also consider the following projects:
x220-coreboot - My my coreboot built for the thinkpad x220, including vga bootsplash, boot menu wait set to 1 sec, and me_cleaner
elf2efi - Convert ELF-format images to PE+ suitable for use as EFI applications
x220-coreboot-guide - Supplemental text guide with commands for corebooting an X220.
uefi-rs - Rust wrapper for UEFI.
