This is a followup on the issues discussed here.
I opted to try to tackle the zillion (104, to be precise) boot drives listed in BIOS by biting the bullet and updating my BIOS from f5 to f22d.
I was eventually able to find all the settings I had used before (Gigabyte helpfully completely changed the interface) and try to boot. My Hack, which had several weird problems, but was fine for day to day use, refused to boot with the new BIOS, even with the exact same settings.
It hard resets shortly after showing the Apple logo.
I realized it was time to try my vanilla USB stick.
It did indeed boot macOS when using the Clover EFI on a USB stick, and the stick, which I configured according to /u/corpnewt 's vanilla instructions. USB3 seemed to work, the onboard audio, which never worked before, worked (using voodooHDA), but the default Nvidia driver was being used.
I realized that I had nv_disable=1, so I took that out and I also added the NvidiaWeb flag.
From that point on, any boots get me up, but the web driver is still not used, and it's super slow and the mouse cursor jumps around the screen. I can't figure out if it's actually slow, or if it's a graphics display issue. I somewhat suspect the former, though, as macOS error beeps when I do something wrong are also delayed.
I tried /u/DownscaleSleepwalker 's EFI (provided to me in the thread linked at the top), but it filled the screen with what looked like debug text, then went black with a cursor in the upper right hand corner, and froze.
I'm back to using my own vanilla EFI, but the computer is unusable.
I've tried it with and without nv_disable, and with and without NvidiaWeb; Every permutation. It doesn't seem to help.
What I really can't figure out, though, is why the first time it came up with this EFI, it was usable, but now it's so slow that I can't even use it...
Here's a non-serial-numbered copy of my config.plist:

And here are the kexts I have in /kexts/Other/
- FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext
- FakePCIID.kext
- FakeSMC.kext
- IntelGraphicsFixup.kext
- IntelMausiEthernet.kext
- Lilu.kext
- NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext
- USBInjectAll.kext
- VoodooHDA.kext
Any idea what to do?
