I made some progress on booting Genode on my XPS 15: adding you and Romans changes (to limit the resolution to 1920 width), I am able to boot it until I get a black screen and a usable cursor (at least after increasing the different RAM quotas). After that nothing really happens. I don't have easily access to a supported device so sadly I am unable to perform the necessary configurations for sculpt as a hardware-probing instrument. Do you have any hints on what I may tweak to get the boot continuing?
You can run Sculpt in VirtualBox, which should allow you to modify the installation on the USB stick, to create the hardware-probing instrument. (I'm going to do this soon, myself.)
Quick note: Because of a bug in the 18.08 code, use the "PS/2 Mouse" pointing device for the guest VM, instead of one of the USB pointing devices.
