Unfortunately I'm not a developer at all and at the moment I don't know much about clover and hot-patching. But maybe I can help in some other way?
I am currently using an EFI here from github (https://github.com/linusyang92/macOS-ThinkPad-T480s). It works great except for the touchpad driver (ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext). On the github page there is an info on how to change the driver to VoodooPS2.
The used config.plist could be interesting for your project. There is for example an entry with which you should be able to switch off the AppleIntelLpssiI2C kext files. My first test didn't bring any success yet - but maybe you find it helpfull and find a way to use those patches?
