It doesn't help you if /boot/ is something better than VFAT, for the simple reason that the ESP effectively *must* be VFAT, and you need to update the ESP pretty much as often as the /boot/ partition (if it even is distinct at all), hence, you gain nothing by using another fs here, but you lose a lot, because you have to trust two file system drivers now, in particular quite complex ones that are eyed with quite some animosity from kernel upstream.
