Public bug reported:

RUnning the 20.04 desktop zfs install, the boot partition is 500 MiB

I run 512 MiB without zfs because the default 234 MiB has been too small
for a long time, like two years

500 MiB is too little because snapshotting is taking place. boot cannot
hold even two kernels

macOS boots from a single container that can have any number of
installations

That would be a better solution for zfs, to have a single pool where any
number of bootable installations can coexists, each with their own boot
area and encrypted root file system

Get-around:
# delete all boot snapshots so system, upgrades may complete:
zfs list -H -o name -t snapshot -r bpool | xargs -n1 zfs destroy
