Well, if that is your concern the answer is secure boot.  That will not
only prevent tampering with /boot files, but also prevent tampering with
the bootloader itself.

No, Secure Boot doesn't solve that problem. Secure Boot, in Fedora anyway,
needlessly disables a lot of kernel functionality, which makes it completely
unusable. You cannot load kernel modules you've built, hibernate your system,
etc. Additionally, Secure Boot does not prevent tampering with /boot files.
You can still change grub.cfg as you like.

Yet here I am, happily using it, across multiple systems...
