So, this is basically just a boot menu. If it were me I'd probably drop
entry #9, unless you have any intention to do a UEFI native boot via LAN
later.

With efibootmgr you can list out the actual contents of each entry and
save it somewhere, so you could re-create any entry you delete later.
And as long as you make sure you can still get into the firmware
interface, a factory reset of the firmware should restore the default
efi boot manager list, I *think*.

(disclaimer: never trust the monkey, I know a bit more about UEFI than
the average monkey but not everything.)
