Just today I upgraded from 39 to 40 but there was an issue:
dnf told me I needed some 800k more space in my /boot partition to proceed.
I had two kernels in /boot so I dnf removed those associated with the older
of the two kernels. I then successfully upgraded.
I fear the next time I do a dnf update which includes a new kernel I will
be told, again, that there is not enough space in my /boot partition.
So, how can I increase the size of the /boot partition? Many partitions,
like /tmp, are bigger than they need to be.
Here is what how the /sda disk is organized.

Thanks for any help give.
I realize one way is to backup /home and then reinstall Fedora but
1) that seems like a lot of work and
2) it would mean that the machine in question would then have to
use Wayland rather than Xorg.

This isn't a direct reply to your question: IIUC you need to run a
'live' image to do that.
But I installed f40 a few days ago, and today "dnf upgrade" installed
kernel-6.8.8 but *not* vmlinuz-6.8.8, so booting failed.
My /boot partition is 450 GB, and I now have two bootable f40 kernels
and a recent rescue kernel. There's no room for another. You probably
don't have a "recovery" option.
I now have "installonly_limit=2" in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf, but a new "dnf
upgrade" after that said there was "nothing to do". What did work was (
while running 6.8.7):
sudo dnf remove kernel-core-6.8.8
sudo dnf upgrade
and then when "systemctl list-jobs" was clear, "sudo systemctl reboot"
I, too, would prefer to have a bigger /boot, but this info might help.
