I've booting with around 1.5T or above (but under 2T) Root-on-ZFS

Basically, UEFI requires GPT partitioning. So many of those would boot
from larger than 1TB boot pool.
As, IIRC, it is optional, some UEFI firmware would be able to boot from
MBR-patritioned disk but there would be some risk that they have the
same limitations as legacy BIOS in such situations.
Note that possibly I'm just lucky enough not to be bitten.
I've been booting UEFI from 10T pools for literally years, and I have a
HP server
with a 5T pool that IIRC boots GPT with BIOS, and a different Dell that
has a 6T
pool also GPT and UEFI.
Just data points.
