I had success with Clover 5.1 5126 on Big Sur Beta 11.0.1 on the XPS 9360 Kaby Lake HD620 FHD 1920x1080. Set SMBios to MacBookPro 15.2, installed CPUfriend kexts and Usb wifi kexts.
Graphics, brightness, Trackpad gestures, Bluetooth, battery, sound, andUsb C (Dock and Hdmi) work. Sleep will not wake - I have disabledarkwake=0 in boot arguments. Trackpad gestures use voodooPs2.kext only - VoodooI2C.kext causes Kernel Panic on boot. SMCProcessor.kext cannot be used because of kernel panic.
Otherwise MacOS Big Sur runs well with similar Power usage to OC boot (Intel Power Gadget). Clover is a better option since I triple Boot Windows, Mac and Linux. Clover does not take over the Bios like OC.
I have your same triple boot config, but quite frankly using OpenCore is a breath of fresh air. No more messing about with L/E or S/L/E and temperamental boots. It just works. Also it's more Apple-esque (single user boot by pressing CMD+S, Safe using Shift, etc).
With regards to booting other OSes, Linux boots without any issues straight from OpenCore, and - whilst I haven't yet spent time looking at native Windows booting - I've inserted a CLOVER entry into OC which allows me to chainload OC->Clover->W10. That way I can still reboot into Windows quickly.
At some point I'll try and take a look at bringing CLOVER back to macOS. Just to check though - do you still put all your extra CLOVER kexts into L/E?
