Thinking about it more you probably are ok with a SHA to a build tool.
I guess companies do all the extra work and vetting just to be extra
sure. So how much you do I guess is up to you ad SiFive.

No, it must be built from an upstream repo. Others need to be able to
reproduce this in the future. You can just use upstream buildroot and
include a config. Ideally as well use a projects release instead of
some random SHA.

Swap to an upstream distro, I think they all support OpenSBI now.
Buildroot and OE/Yocto both give you development environments and
Fedora and Debian work as well.
