If there is an EFI that can be booted, but don't work with iPXEs standard stack, then that EFI has bugs that needs to be fixed:

workarounds for you:
* use iSCSI to boot an efi image, provided that ESX isn't lacking iSCSI support (another bug if so).
* abuse wimboots ability to create a virtual FS and run it from there, just send over bootx64.efi and all other files needed for the boot

Any big difference between snponly.efi and ipxe.efi which they are all maked by ipxe source code? I find that it is good to install Esxi if chain snponly.efi instead of ipxe.efi.
