I don't see a file by that name in /boot/msdos, but there is a
/boot/msdos/EFI/BOOT/bootarm.efi

It's surprisingly old:
root@www:/usr/src # ls -l /boot/msdos/EFI/BOOT/bootarm.efi
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  674864 Jul  2  2020 /boot/msdos/EFI/BOOT/bootarm.efi

Is that the EFI loader referred to? If so I think it's safe. 

Thanks for reading,
