Hi Rajiv,
I managed to ignore the boot issue, sorry for that.

When direct attaching screen & keyboard, don't you see any boot activity?
Or do you mean that the device boots, but samplerbox process is not started properly - thus seaming "dead"?

In my opinion, if starting OK on 2019 then on 2020 it should at least show boot activity on system console on which you also should be able to logon. This is because the difference between these two release on OS level (the level where you boot) is actually very small. An rpi-update has been done, but this should only improve compatibility (instead of reducing it as you observe).
And if you can logon, you can also do debugging as mentioned on the build page.

I tend to think that one of application level features (a lot were added) or some typical part of your setup, causes samplerbox function to fail on PI-zero.
I'm puzzled by your observation, as the 2020 dist is used by many others and except for "normal" installation at particular setups, it works out-of-the-box. I have to add you are the only one I know of using my dist with PI-zero.
