Adding dts for all possible combinations will add more dts (sd+nor, sd+nand, emmc+nor, emmc+nand) than adding the 2 overlays or adds redundant config.

I wonder if in the end that wouldn't be part of U-Boot to pass the correct DTB 
depending on the HW switches. Just one idea I had is, to create on DTS with 
sd+nor+nand+emmc if that's possible. And then leave the permutations to the boot 
firmware (U-Boot).
