Right. Until you do a zipl during a reboot or shutdown of the system.
Takes 2 minutes...
And only if you add a new disk to the mirror.

But this means you only have the boot data on one of the two devices?

Since there is nothing special on the boot disk, I would take a small
mini disk to mount over /boot and prepare that with zipl, en then DDR or
so to copy the contents to another spare mini disk. And since you
probably run all the Linux virtual machines similar, you could even
borrow someone else's boot disk when it has to be.
