The kernels would then go to /boot/EFI/Linux, /efi/EFI/Linux, or /boot/efi/EFI/Linux,
respectively. (When you write /boot/efi, it's not clear what exactly you
mean. The duplication of "efi" and "EFI" on on case-insensitive
system
is confusing.)
(*) This is actually something that'd need to be figure out.
/boot/efi is the worst choice; either /boot or /efi would be OK,
but something needs to be chosen.
I'd strongly advise not to nest them, because that makes mounting them
via autofs (i.e. systemd .automount units) nasty. i.e. /boot/ and
/efi/ are the way to go in my humble opinion.
Given that ESP/XBOOTLDR are likely vfat it's kind crucial to reduce
the time where the partitions are mounted to a minimum, and autofs
makes that very simple and natural, as it means the file systems are
only mounted for a very short period of time when actually accessed,
and unmounted a seconds later.
