Fedora Server users *must* fully reinstall, because there's no way to make space for an ESP and reconfigure things.
I haven't done a "default" Fedora Server installation in a long time, so I'm not sure how they are laid out. But I seem to remember /boot being a separate partition for a long time (it used to be required because some older BOISs couldn't read beyond a certain sector on the disk). Could not /boot be converted to the ESP (i.e. reformatted with FAT32) on such systems?
We do /boot/efi (ESP for EFI blobs) + /boot (everything else). The ESP can be extremely tiny because of it. Fedora Server /boot is XFS, so non-shrinkable.
