In ACPI mode, if you select the the Graphical console in the UEFI menu this should work without the need to "set tty fb0". But in device tree mode it defaults to serial since that's what the device tree says. The firmware should probably patch up the device tree based on the setting in the menu, but the devlopers of the firmware are focussing on ACPI. Whether hdmi_safe=1 is necessary depends on your HDMI display.
