If you mean Zyxel bootloader, then no. The board utilizes U-boot with
some PandoraBox patches according to the logo printed to the serial
console.

Vendor does not mention any recovery mode in the documentation. You
could connect to the serial console and use regular U-boot commandы to
recover the firmware.

Did not test with the 5.10 kernel, but looks like it should run
smoothly on the board. What are the specific requirements for LZMA
loader usage besides the kernel size limitation? 5.10 is not smaller
than 5.4. So, if the 5.4 based firmware requires the LZMA loader to
boot with a typical MT7621 U-boot, then 5.10 will require it too.
