Hello, if nobody can control the BIOS, if it is maybe or maybe not clean and infected with a root-kit in some way...
Will it not be some advantage, if the stateless laptop has a firmware-module, which is mobile? $ So I can unplug the firmware, the PC-body is without interest, because it has no persistent Memory (like the lapdoc of Motorola). The best, would be, if the mobile module exists of two components, the SSD disk and the firmware module. Both can be stored on a safe place and replaced by plug an play. In advantage, with a second module some Dual Host system will run also. Safe Plug and Play for Qubes or Windows or Ubuntu or... Sure, there should be a disaster recovery plan for the firmware module, how you make sure, that you came back to a clean System with Firmware Security, so you can start a real clean re-installation of the OS, if necessary. And in the last case a cheap replacement of the Firmware-Module (e.g. that for security reasons you will replace it all 30 days, because it might be some cheap electronic device, instead of the hole PC). The firmware/hardware must be complete in some sense, so you need only to update the BIOS with security considerations, but not to expand the configuration-stuff in some way (This leads to a more complete systems, including touch screen, 3D....). Will this work in some way? So you would have different ways to start with a proofen clean Firmware?
