Doesn't support links, lournaling and ACLs.
Is that something you need in /boot?
And journaling actually is more a problem than a solution due to
firmware (or grub) filesystem drivers often not having full support for
the journal. Luckily this is rarely a problem in practice because /boot
is rarely written to.
Everyone can do whatever they want with the files,
Hmm?
From the booted system: No, depends on the configuration and usually
it's mounted to be only writable by root.
When you plug the disk elsewhere: Yes, but all other filesystems have
the same problem then. With physical access to the disk only encryption
can prevent that.
take care,
