c. Just arbitrarily update all ESPs on all devices. A bit sloppy in
that it might use space on ESPs that have nothing to do with booting
the system. So long as this is small bootloader files it's maybe not a
big problem? But if we're also going to follow BLS to a T, that means
kernel and initramfs files go there too, and then I think logic is
required to avoid writing on ESPs that we don't "own".
