I for one think rebooting after install is a very good thing, as only a
full reboot makes sure the install (including boot loaders) was
completely successful and works fine.

Also, one possible way to potentially mitigate this danger with yet another device mapper trick would be to-

After installation, create a snapshot of the system disk(s), then boot them headlessly under qemu in some way that you could tickle them into proving that the bootloader worked (perhaps an init script that detects this type of test qemu run, and provides some output than can be caught).
