yes, because you as usually don't get the point and when you say "My system is bios/grub" consider refrain talking about things you don't have see working in real life

that usually ends in unbacked theory helping nobody

the point is that "you need efi to boot, but the system can't access efi until it's booted" is nonsense because the whole point of the ESP is that the UEFI is driectly starting UEFI-binaries at the ESP

your UEFI bootloadr or even the plain kernel are just that: UEFI binaries

Are your /boot and /boot/efi using superblock 1.0? My system is bios/grub, so not the same, but I use plain partitions here because otherwise you're likely to get in a circular dependency - you need efi to boot, but the system can't access efi until it's booted ... oops!
the UEFI don't care where the ESP is mounted later
from the viewpoint of the UEFI all paths are /-prefixed

that's only relevant for the OS at the time of kernel-install / updates and the ESP is vfat and don't support RAID anyways

But ext4 doesn't support raid either.

irrelevant - i am talking about THE ESP DO NOT SUPPORT RAID - filesystems don't need to support RAID because with your argumentation the tail is waving with the dog

Btrfs, ZFS and XFS don't support md-raid. That's the whole point of having a layered stack, rather than a "one size fits all" filesystem.

IF YOU CAN GUARANTEE that /boot/efi is only ever modified inside linux

you can't

then raid it. Why not? Personally, I'm not sure that guarantee holds.

and that's the problem

Basically the rule is, if you want to access raid-ed linux partitions outside of linux, you must be able to guarantee they aren't modified outside of linux. And you have to use superblock 1.0. If you can't guarantee both of those, don't go there

and hence don't go there
