I did something similar in 2022, also with LiteX, but not self-hosting because it used a Kintex-7 FPGA which at least at the time required Vivado for the actual place-and-route. It did result in a open gateware laptop running Linux and Xorg, though (thanks to Linux-on-LiteX-VexRiscV): https://mntre.com/media/reform_md/2022-09-29-rkx7-showcase.h...
