All that I can say is that the Raspberry Pi 4 uses device trees even when booting via the long Firmware-uboot=grub-linux wich the = stage being an UEFI environment. When you use the native UEFI firmware, no device tree is available which means, for example, no accelerated video, since the vc4 driver does device tree only. And when I was on the last Debian conference, two participants were trying to get an ARM Thinkpad running with Debian and were muttering device tree, device tree all the time. Looks to me that device trees are a big thing in ARM hardware.
