Unless the microSD are "fake", they will work fine..

For your boards installed on your boat, the biggest advantage to
copying a new OS to the eMMC is to remove that ancient image from the
eMMC, that's been blocking your upgrade path for the last 2 years.
"faster" it depends.. The eMMC is an 8-bit interface, while the
microSD is 4-bit interface... You can "buy" faster microSD, that even
with the limited 4-bit interface that are faster than the eMMC
installed...
