There is indeed reason to be cautious about NAND and mainline Linux. That very link you provide above, however, seems to mention _some_ NAND support being mainlined in 3.19. Not only Linux kernel need to support boot from NAND, U-boot does too (unless you wanna chainload - boot a NAND-capable botloader from uSD).
