You can use extended format on an 040 CPU Mac but not to

That's not true. 040's can boot 8.1 HFS+
I've never had it work the couple times I've accidentally tried to do
this. Apple agrees as well:

As I understand it, the 68k ROMs are incapable of reading HFS+ to boot
to (hence why alternate OSes, including Apple's own A/UX, required small
Mac OS partitions to bootstrap into the other OS)
