Do you have any specific sdio+uart module you are testing these changes
with? The pinout for sdio+uart on Radxa's M.2 Key E slot is their own,
pinout for pcie and usb should be closer to a common standard.

Changing to status=okay for sdmmc2 and uart8 should be fine, it does not
cause any issue for my pcie wifi module testing with a Radxa A8 module.

Testing with a Radxa A2 module (sdio+uart), the sdio/wifi part is
automatically discovered, however bluetooth require a DT overlay for
automatic probe. Something like this seem to work:

With that applied wifi and bt module is detected and firmware loaded
during startup:
