Err, where/how do you define "primary" and "secondary" EFI bootloaders?
Note that EBG is isar-cip-core, and there we definitely do not have such
a concept. Can you elaborate what you want to achieve?

Who is using ukify? No one in isar or isar-cip-core at least. Are you
referring to an out-of-tree wic plugin with these changes?

In-tree (Isar), we still need to enable
meta/scripts/lib/wic/plugins/source/bootimg-efi-isar.py to generate
UKIs. But that would be systemd-boot UKI-only, no EBG then.
