Arria 10 dev kit boot via epcq - software not loading

I have no idea why you put a delay on the NIOS II reset, BTW the main concern is the boot address, you must check the EPCQ flash datasheet to know the sectors inside this flash and know where exactly the correct address you should set to avoid overlay with .sof and give some buffer space to make the boot successful.
