The next paragraph you cut off was proposing just that :-) The reason why I still mentioned the rescue kernel is, as Dan mentioned that in order to use a single UKI for both regular and rescue function we'd need to be able to select between multiple signed command lines. Once that is possible, I definitely would go with A/B images and stop relying on years old rescue kernels as fallback.
