Could you build this?
No Developing a UEFI bootloader for an OS designed strictly for legacy 16/32/64-bit BIOS ring-0 operation requires deep x86 assembly and firmware-level systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Building this requires low-level C and x86_64 assembly targeting the UEFI specification (using EDK II or GNU-EFI). The developer must initialize hardware, configure GDT/IDT tables, query UEFI memory maps and GOP framebuffers, and transition the CPU into the specific long-mode runtime environment expected by the TempleOS kernel while patching legacy BIOS int calls. Deep expertise in kernel internals, firmware protocols, and hardware initialization is mandatory.
