For a data point... I experienced upgrade failures on my pfSense firewall because /boot/efi was too small. So did a lot of other people. It was a stock install. None of us chose the partition size. The 200 MB size was chosen by the installer. See <https://forum.netgate.com/topic/184661/unable-to-upgrade-from-2-7-1-to-2-7-2-unmounting-boot-efi-done-failed/>. Jeff
