How much do you need macos around to use it?

Sounds like the original install and then for firmware updates? I’d like to keep telemetry to a minimum and not use macos if possible.

Yes, that's right; I generally pop back in to macOS every so often to check for OS updates (which update the firmware as well - no way to just update the firmware).

I seem to remember there being a tiny recovery partition or cut-down version of macos or something maybe from boot CD (we have an old iMac).

Also found this:

Still I'd rather have no MacOS.

There is a recovery partition (in fact, it's used when installing Asahi) but I don't think it's possible to update the firmware from there. Boot CD might work. You could try asking on r/AsahiLinux.
