It's bad design. First, it's a nested mount: file system A on /, and
file system B on /boot, and file system C on /boot/efi. Therefore the

failure.
I've never once had a problem with nested mounts. Is this a problem
people have? First I've heard of it.
'mount -av' has *long* supported nested mounts. Nested mounts are a 'trick'
from the days of UNIX from way back when. Mount knows all about going through
/etc/fatab and coming up with a sane and correct order for mounting file
systems.
The only issue I have ever had is if / is not listed first. For some
reason that I cannot remember I once listed /boot first in /etc/fstab
and the system could not remount / as RW as the first thing mount did
was mount /boot. Apparently it failed to recognize / needed a remount
before mounting anything else.
