No it is not. The /boot and /tmp partitions are superfluous, and
/boot/efi is too large (but at a guess it was already there), but they
would barely make a difference.

On the other hand, in 2023, it is still a very good idea to separate the
system filesystem that gets written frequently from the one that gets
written rarely from the user data filesystem.

A good illustration of that fact (which I do not contest) would be if
you saw a /usr separate from / or a /usr/local separate from /+/usr with
very unbalanced usage ratio.

Ah, finally the only relevant answer!
