Is my only real choice to cut back from 2 old kernels to 1 old kernel?

Maybe not. Most people don't need to run more than one kernel at a time, or retain
more than one as emergency fallback.

Does your overall configuration necessitate having boot on its own partition? If
not, and you have plenty of freespace on /, you could remount your /boot/
filesystem elsewhere, remove that filesystem from fstab, copy old filesystem
content to the now empty /boot/ directory on /, and finish by reinstalling bootloader.

I don't know.  The original install was done 10+ years ago.  Not knowing any better, I very probably just accepted the defaults.  Much of what you suggest here is over my head.

Another possibility: if there is space that can be made available for a completely
new larger boot elsewhere, make it, and migrate in similar manner to moving old
/boot/'s content to /. /boot/ filesystem need not be on the same disk as /.

There is only one hard drive.

Removing the oldest kernel (dnf remove kernel-core...) looks to have solved the problem, at least for a while.  But thank-you for trying to help.
