If you have a separate boot partition, I'd not only suggest making it a primary
partition for the same reason, but also mounting it read-only for oops-protection.

Nope, not at all.
I put /var in Extended, LVM and, if you can believe it, even
LDM (yes, Windows "dynamic disk" disk label format ;-).
I only avoid putting root (/) in anything but a primary
partition for recoverability. Even if I use a separate /boot
(I rarely do -- I keep my root do only a few GBs max), I
still like it outside of any compound disk label.
