I've been running BBB from eMMC for weeks now and it's very stable, but on boot, something goes wrong with eMMC detection and sometimes network phy fails. Details are in this list somewhere. You could test those things, so I'm not alone with this. I currently also have two U-Boot's, 2013.04 from crochet (using those patches there) that gives me eMMC and 2014.01 with some patches from this list that gives me 1GHz CPU but no eMMC (fails in ubldr with no device found). Also more details in this list. The device currently almost fits with my needs. I'm trying to use it in my home automation system where several of same or similar boards make all sorts of IO available over IP so I could have monitoring and control. In this application, 1GHz (and non-scaling?!) CPU isn't really needed. I found that this board is cheap enough, compared with how much IO it has... And it runs FreeBSD! I sometimes encounter people that buy much more expensive and less capable hardware for purpose to hack it apart and interface with own system. I would rather take something like BBB and hack together system I actually need. Not sure how this will help you, though. I don't even use the any of methods you described to build system for it. Instead of that, I use my own scripts to make release and upgrade the board over network... Other than, maybe... that indeed "sha256.h" appeared in CURRENT at revision 263218... But none of my build machines actually run CURRENT.
