It requires the bootloader to be signed with a key known to UEFI. You would need to disable Secure Boot and just leave UEFI boot in order to boot FreeBSD. The other thing that apparently doesn't work with UEFI is switching from UEFI boot console/fb into amdgpu console/fb. The first needs to be disabled with a sysctl switch. However, this doesn't affect my desktop so it seems it's not an universal "doesn't work".
