https://www.anandtech.com/show/13575/sony-releases-128-gb-bdr-xl-media

Would any of the MK firmware's we flash our drives with prohibit burning these discs?

This appears to the manual to be the OP's computer. https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Desktop/a/Manual/E22432_G20AJ_Guide_Win8-1_v3_WEB.pdf?model=G20AJ

This drive can't read UHDs, only BDs. However, it can be flashed to UD04 in Windows to do so. Let me know by PM if that is of interest.
