Thoughts?  Ouch

Usable?  Can your systemboard deal with directly UEFI-booting a 
UEFI-prepared USB DASD?

Worth the effort?  For higher chance of success, I might consider 
putting a minimal Linux environment on a USB stick along with VM 
software and enough space on the key to simulate a SATA or SCSI DASD 
rather than a USB one.

Might you not be better off with another poster's comment of using a VM 
solution?

   Yours, &c
