I don't know which device you're using but I have flashed Coreboot with SeaBIOS on my X230 and have also documented how to do so. I was also thinking about using GRUB but there were many side effects which someone mentioned in a Qubes posting. I think one of them was related to updating dom0 and thereof I choose simplicity over security. Using SeaBIOS was good enough for me, the only nice thing about using Coreboot + Grub is (as far as I understand) that we can run an encrypted boot, which might offer a better protection against evil maid attacks. My idea against Evil Maid attacks was to run somthing like AIDE (file fingerprinting) on /boot and to verify. I think this is also the idea of the Anti Evil Maid approach in Qubes. But to be honest, the risk that someone attacks me via evil maid is not very high for me or in other words "reasonable unlikely" :-) If you get Coreboot+GRUB on qubes fixed I am interesting in hearing how this works during daily use.
