Sounds complicated, one version of grub but
separate boot partitions always gets me confused too.
Not sure best solution.
But I'm used to it and have not discovered any potholes. YET ;/
I've had it that way since Squeeze in order to force update-grub
to be run-able from only one environment.
At the time I was doing multiple install in a day to experiment
with package complement and configurations.
Well, I admit I do the same thing on one machine. I have jessie,
stretch with fluxbox, and stretch with kde and I hate it when I
upgrade a kernel and get grub menu inconsistent so i purged grub
pkg on two of them. I have used chroot in the past in an emergency
to update-initramfs, but this setup is pretty solid with an edited
40-custom file on the grub machine.
