Booting moOde from a USB thumbdrive works fine for me on an RPi3B+ and has for quite some time.
The thumbdrive is detected by Etcher when I plug it into my Linux laptop. If I select it, the flashing process proceeds just as it would for a uSD card but there's no uSD card involved at any point.
I haven't yet done this with an HD or an SSD because I need to figure out how to organize a three-partition system such that I can flash partitions 1 and 2 from Tim's release and keep partition 3 for music. This would require some modest modification of moOde to recognize the third partition and some protection of the third partition during the flashing process.
Like Tim, I haven't tried booting from mass storage with an RPi4B yet. So many fun things to do; so little time. The moOdeOS running on a USB 3.0 SSD would be wicked fast.
