cuImage was implemented specifically for compatibility with old boards
with old U-Boots that don't support device trees. If you want to use it
for anything else, you're on your own. It relies on an old, very
fragile and non-extensible interface for passing information from U-Boot
to Linux.
Could you make it work? Probably. Should you? No.
