They seem to be supported (at least Rock Pi 5) (https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/master/doc/board/rockchip/rockchip.rst) but other posts say it's currently missing some important features. Would this probably be something for the „near future" in Fedora (i.e. f40 or so) or is that not at all foreseeable at present?

The rk3588 is still a bit early, I had a quick check the other day and
it was basically mmc/network upstream, there's patches out for things
like usb/pcie and other pieces but that won't be in place for F-39 at
least, which will be shipping with the 6.5.x kernel.

What's your budget so I can suggest something in the right range.
