It can, but not much :) I recently reverted the GNOME Boxes change
that installed guests with uefi. I wrote a [humorous] commit message
about it with a few details
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes/-/commit/c486da262f6566326fbcb5ef45c5f64048f16a6e

Long story short, Libvirt/qemu don't seem to be able to perform AND
revert to snapshots of UEFI guests.
