Don't you understand??? I found the error in the meanwhile and changed the config.plist in the EFI-10.13-TM folder twice. Latest version now EFI-10.13-TM-030817a.zip!!!!
Download and unzip the EFI-10.13-TM-030817a.zip attached. Delete the content of your EFI folder on your USB Flash drive and copy the content of the EFI folder contained in EFI-10.13-TM-030817a.zip to the now empty EFI folder on your USB Flashdrive!
Don't apply any modifications! Can you please just listen once??
Reboot and successfully boot the USB Flash Drive Installer!!!!
If you still have problems revise one last time your BIOS settings. After all your previous changes applied put them strictly back to the settings I summarize in my guide!
The EFI-10.13-TM-030817a.zip is now fixed and works in 100%. In your case without any additional modifications!
Cheers,

Okay... with the EFI-10.13-TM-030817a got ++++++
My process, insert thumb drive, mount EFI partition, remove contents of EFI folder, empty trash, copy EFI-10.13-TM-030817a EFI contents to my EFI partition. boot, it hangs, reset, add -v in clover to see output, get ++++++.
double checked bios settings to your guide, good.
Boot off the sierra usb, get to the installer, making sure I did not not miss any bios settings get to sierra inhaler, bios happy.
Go back to DP4 thumb drive +++++
There are a few things not showing in my BIOS, there is no serial port so I can not disable it, AI Overclock Tuner does not have a disable option, it has Auto,Manual,XMP, I choose Auto. Everything else is as it should be.
Go back through all bios settings again to make sure I did not miss something or something did not save.
boot off dp4 thumb drive, no luck. I have two one is USB 2.0, one is USB 3.0, both get +++++
There is something in the X99-Deluxe-II that I must have misconfigured, I just can not isolate it.
I'm making a brand new USB key now, just to be hyper paranoid.
