No.

This would be true for any preceding ARM devboard, but Juno's boot
architecture is different. The thing that gives the 'Cmd>' prompt is
running on a system microcontroller. It writes images to the system
NOR based on the contents of images.txt in the magic USB filesystem.

While I think you _can_ run the boot monitor on Juno, it it not part
of the UEFI boot path, and I didn't think it was for U-Boot either?
It certainly shouldn't be needed.
