My point was that UEFI did not change the fact that "you cannot have

useless nitpicking isn't helpful
Barking up the wrong tree isn't useful either. EFI is not the culprit.
but the root cause - cause and effect
No, EFI is not the root cause either. The root cause is carelessly
storing stuff in the bootloader area as if it was part of the standard
Linux filesystem. Guess what ? It is not. Even though the EFI partition
contains a filesystem, it is not a part of the standard Linux filesystem
and requires special consideration, just like the MBR, the post-MBR gap
or the BIOS boot partition.
You can blame Fedora for this. I blame Debian for this. I praise Ubuntu
for managing multiple EFI partitions at last, and I do not often praise
Ubuntu, believe me.

I did not find any information about where the kernel-selection is
stored in this page.
in /efi/loader/entries/
Weird, the wiki mentions /boot/loader/entries/.

quick rsync in the initramfs or boot sequence to sync EFIs, then
that's probably the best place.
yeah, initramfs is fine because that's generated due kernel-install
Aren't you confusing the initramfs execution and generation ?
ok, my mistake: initramfs generation is fine because at that point
everything is already there, the initrd is locate don the EFI and when
that's finished is the point to sync a backup-ESP
But that's not enough, because other parts of the system may write to
the EFI partition, so it does not completely solve the issue.
