You mention that if I don't use a correct SMBIOS, which I'm assuming "should" be 18,x, I might see an unstable system. Right now, I'm not noticing anything out of the ordinary/unstable. System sleeps, wakes, restarts, shutdowns normally. Quicklook works. Able to play DRM videos via iTunes.
@osufella,
By using SMBIOS iMac14,2 MacOS will only use the CPU features and instructions sets of a 2013 Haswell based system (4th Gen CPU), if you switch to 18,1 MacOS will use the newer instruction sets and features of your 8th Gen CPU ... you should see slightly better performance as some tasks will be better optimised.
Cheers
