My colleague who develops FreeBSD on the Pis recommends this image for the
Pi3 and 4 - the 13.0-CURRENT release may not support the Pi 4:

https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/arm64/aarch64/ISO-IMAGES/13.0/FreeBS
D-13.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI3-20201119-f2ea0734875.img.xz

It is recommended that you boot Raspberry Pi OS and do a firmware update
before you boot FreeBSD - the above might not have the right firmware for
especially 8GB boards.

In general the plan sounds fine to me...
