Write a new UEFI. No need for a shim. Peter stated what the free software UEFI on its own hardware should support: "disable Secure Boot or use your own chain of trust." Plus, because you appear to be motivated to buy a shim for this reason, write the UEFI so it does not make it scary to install in any configuration you use as the empowered owner of the device.
