I have the same issue in a completely different context:

1. amd64 not arm64
2. a vm running in bhyve, not baremetal
3. the host is 15.0-CURRENT #0 n270917-5dbf886104b4 amd64 1500019 1500019 zfs-on-root
    built July 4th.
4. the guest is 13.4-STABLE stable/13-n258323-e7b4f6e0c064 amd64 1304500 1304500 zfs-on-root

5. on the guest :- % gpart list | grep -Ew '(Name|efi)'
                    1. Name: vtbd0p1
                    2. Name: vtbd0p2
                    3. Name: vtbd0p3
                    1. Name: vtbd0

on the guest, there is no ESP in this case, no bootx64.efi, /boot/efi is empty

After source building to latest stable in the usual way, same error message 'loader needs updating'.

Any ideas?
