AFAIK you are correct.

(Also AFAIK) no supported SMP m68k systems.

Actually LUNA-II seems to have a socket for the optional
(secondary?) processor around 68040 on its motherboard,

but I have seen no article about such actual hardware options.

No idea.

Anyway, if there is ~no real hardware, I'm afraid very
few people (developers) are interested in SMP support
(that is too complex).
