For the default use case, `/boot/efi` is mounted automatically during boot, so there is little risk. With diffirent mount options, this may become an issue.

I would argue that this should be independent of use case, that is you would want to ensure the ESP is always accessed as root. (Same as for example the `umask=0077` setting that I think is already part of the install.)
Apart from that, I was experimenting with having /boot not auto-mounted, but only mounted manually when performing system updates.
