Only once, over a period of quite a few years, has one of my systems
failed to find LVM on booting, so on that occasion my life was easier
because /boot was separate. On one other occasion with a booting
problem, the fact that /boot was separate provided a little more data
to diagnose the problem.
On the other hand, in the early days of grub, there were at least three
occasions when a new grub did not correctly handle a separate /boot.
Fixing that became routine... but I haven't seen it happen since long
before grub2 arrived.
Your call...
