I don't understand this? Modern kernels boot perfectly well without FIT
support. U-Boot supports the kernel's standard separate DTB and zImage
file formats just fine.
To be honest, I'd strongly prefer not to enable support for
non-universal (bootloader-specific) formats such as FIT.

This might be a reasonable justification to support FIT. However, it'd
be best to enable FIT support only on boards that are actually supported
by ChromeOS, so as not to pollute other boards' configuration.
