You’re only partially correct. /boot doesn’t have to also be your EFI partition. In fact, most distros by default will separate the two, with the EFI partition mounted at /boot/efi and /boot being a separate ext4 based partition. My suggestion is that, if you’re running BTRFS, you should merge /boot and / as one partition. You’re still free to have a FAT32-based EFI mounted at /boot/efi or better yet /efi.

.I use systemd-boot and my mount point is /efi. /efi/EFI/ is where my bootloaders live.
If I rollback to an old enough snapshot, I have to reinstall my kernels from a chroot. It’d be cool if I could get around that.
Where’s your /boot?
Separate FAT32 part.
