No. On Ubuntu raspi the VFAT partition is mounted on /boot/firmware, not
/boot. There is something wrong with your system setup.
ubuntu@rpi-4b-rev1d4-d9f5:~$ mount | grep mmc
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,discard,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /boot/firmware type vfat
(rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)

Title:
Ubuntu Mate 20.04 kernel updates 1042 and 1043 attempt to create
symlinks in /boot even though /boot on Raspberry Pi is vfat
Status in Ubuntu MATE:
New
Status in linux-raspi package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
The focal (20.04) kernel updates 1042 and 1043 attempt to create
symlinks in /boot. This was tested on a Pi 4 (arm64).
On Raspberry Pi, /boot is a vfat partition; vfat does not support
symlinks.
I think (but am not sure) that /boot on Raspberry Pi has to be vfat
(cannot be ext3/4 or another filesystem that supports symlinks)
This problem manifests itself as:
# apt-get upgrade
