On mine I have md raid1 configured for /boot. Old install no /boot/efi but it should also work for /boot/efi because even with mdraid the bios/efi will still be able to find what it needs to find to boot but when the OS comes up it mounts the md-raid raid1 devices. This would allow you to survive a disk failure, but not survive a bad deletion at the fs level.
