I see that Beta support is now available for Pi4 boot without SD card.

I am starting to do it, as I currently running with an SSD on my USB3 port, but still have the MicroSD card per instructions by Youtuber Andreas Spiess uploaded on Feb 16 2020:

He has released a new video with instructions on updating the eeprom and additional steps so that it will boot without MicroSD card installed. I'm currently backing up my SSD to another MicroSD card in case something goes wrong. Here's the new video:

Has anyone tried this yet?
I'm assuming I can just do this without installing a new image of Raspbian. I am planning on just doing the updates to my current Raspban hiding under Open Auto Pro. It looks like it's basically updating the eeprom, and then copying some .elf and .dat files to the SSD.
