Anything you put unencrypted on a disk, is insecure. If you don't run
full disk encryption, nothing stops an attacker from simply change
whatever he likes on disk right away. If the system hibernates and you
boot the device with a different OS => change what ever you like.

Booting a signed kernel does not change that.  And in an attempt  to not
strech this again, we had this discussion for FDE already in the systemd
homed tree.
