This is where I have a problem with this, the fact that there is
no upgrade path - virtually my entire installed base of Fedora is
running legacy BIOS and not being able to upgrade them will be
something of a headache.

Is it actually true though? You need to be able to find some space
for an EFI partition but assuming that can be done is there some
other reason you can't migrate from BIOS to UEFI booting?
