idle mystery: does a case exist where one might realistically need a boot-loader to support a dynamically-linked kernel?... leaning=no.
If so that's a static-linked second-stage bootloader that loads the dynamic-linked kernel. Always follow YAGNI++ at the first stage.

I was thinking, eg, for a firmware loader (eg, ELF|PE from SDcard). it doesn't seem worthwhile though given the added complexity involved.

The program you load can always do its own more complex loading of a secondary program that's the actual payload.

yeah, this makes sense. kernel can manage loading its own drivers and modules and similar, ... or, granted, have a second-stage.
