I think you may have been misled by NXP's naming scheme. barebox indeed has good support for the i.MX8*M*, including i.MX8MQ, i.MX8MM, i.MX8MN and i.MX8MP. i.MX8Q (no M!) is a different SoC: It has different CPUs and importantly for barebox, very different startup than the i.MX8M as its internal Cortex-M4 (the SCU) is what first boots up in this SoC and one would first need to teach barebox how to communicate with this process as well as implement the new boot image format that is required. AFAIU, the Linux upstream situation for these other i.MX8's is also worse than for the i.MX8M.
