You don't need any compiled text files if you create an extlinux.conf
rather than a boot.scr. extlinux.conf is plain text.
To boot without U-Boot: Could you say what's in your config.txt? I
assume I can just copy the kernel zImage as kernel.img, and the DTB from
the kernel build tree without renaming it?

It might be intermittent depending on (GPU) cache content. We need to
fix the kernel in a similar fashion to the following U-Boot commits:
