Have you tried the 1.4 one with x86_64.

The RK3588 has a fairly complicated setup process to use MSI interrupts,
you need to go back to set some device registers after you know which
interrupt number has been chosen.

Someone could check what UEFI is doing on an RK3588 but it is a
different software stack below NetBSD to that on the VisionFive 2.

I am running my native RK3588 pcie driver with MSI&MSI-X disabled for
now, it does work with a 1.4 ssd though.
