I am not sure of all the rules, some are /boot must be support by
grub2,
grub2 supports btrfs for reading (grub.cfg, grubenv), but is unable to write
grubenv.
See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/t4si4i/comment/hzy3lah/
For me that prevent setting GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT, but that was not really
important.
I decided thus to not make a separate partition for /boot: simpler. It works
fine since btrfs was made the default in Fedora (as of 2020-10-27 Fedora-33).
I'm only doing kickstart installations.
