Comparing your list to mine, I was struck by the size of /boot/efi.
The size of mine is inflated by one directory of 288M,
/boot/efi/7cf63543075b47d48d09f1649641c3a1. I don't know what that
is or why it's there. But the contents look suggestive:

I don't know why dkms is there. Must have been part of the initial
installation or an update. However, "dnf remove dkms" and then running
"dnf reinstall" did not fix the problem.

It certainly seems as though the installation of the last two kernels
got put into the efi directory. How could that happen?
