The imx31ads is supported by older non linux-yocto recipes, so it
may have some bit rot at the moment. Until it gets refreshed onto
a linux-yocto base, your mileage will vary with it.

Confirmed. This is the board we are currently using.

There are definitely plans to update/refresh the FSL/e500 board
options. Unofficially there's a whole set of boards that will
work fine, and there's a good pool of good quality BSPs that are
viable options.
I hesitate to say more, since nothing has been quite chosen yet
and I'd be speculating or worse misleading at this point. But
a newer e500 based board is something that will arrive once
everything falls into place.
That being said, I can suggest/help with the addition of any of
a number of FSL powerpc based boards, it all depends on what
the requirements are for the board. Does it just have to
be readily available ? Less than 'x' dollars ? Any particular
peripheral support ?
Cheers,
Bruce
