Could this be made bootable using principles as described at https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Netboot_Alpine_Linux_using_iPXE

This would be done by having a public .ipxe boot script that is given to qemu, or other machine that can boot into iPXE. This would be a completely diskless machine.

How bound is this setup to have local storage? Would it be enough with just ramdisk?

At minimum, the payload (Seesaw scripts) expects to be able to save a config file or an existing one provided somehow. However, for any general archiving project, it's suggested at least 60GB of temporary storage be configured.

It might be possible to use netboot, but it might involve lots of architecture changes.
