It is a well known issue that keeping the ESP persistently mounted causes filesystem corruption which means boot failures, because FAT32 is what it is. They do it on Fedora for example, and it is a constant source of problems: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1077984 So yeah, not going to risk this for the benefit of a non-default package with 0.19% popcon, sorry. Feel free to document the workaround and link to this bug as you see fit. I'd recommend noting the FS corruption issues too, but that's up to you of course.
