I've seen a few threads with regards to rebuilding the kernel based on the amazon source release, but has anyone rebuilt the entire rootfs from source? I have 4NT but question applies to any eInk version.

No. That is all proprietary code.
There are three major groups of code :
Open Source whose license requires its release ;
Open Source whose license permits but does not require its release ;
Closed Source code.
Amazon only releases a major part of the first category.
