Download and compile the following https://github.com/pftf/RPi4.git. I made the following change to edk2-platforms to always enable 3GB RAM+ as TFTP booting this seems to cause issues with it remembering the options.

Or modify it redirect to your matchbox server.
Place the efi files onto an sdcard formatted FAT, I got the smallest SD cards I could find as the data is less than 1MB. And the other files onto your tftp server.
I was unable to find a way to iPXE boot without the sdcard for the EFI files, this is probably possable, let me know if you find a way of doing it.
The maintainers over at netboot.xyz are looking at ways to natively iPXE sd-card less
