Please be aware that SLES 16 / Leap 16 support requires x86_64-v2 so I personally believe that there won't be many cases where such a system would not support UEFI.
Some earlier PCs with UEFI had buggy UEFI.
And, everything from Intel Nehalem (2008) and AMD Bulldozer (2011) will run x86_64-v2. There are a lot of BIOS only systems (or early buggy UEFI boards) that fit that category. I still think dropping BIOS boot now would be shooting yourself in the foot. Look at SUSE-2030 and then natural attrition will have taken a majority of systems. You can then go to UEFI and x86_64-v3 at the same point in time. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
