Current best practices: UEFI boot on zfsboot nvme raid?

Hiya,

Wondering what current best practices (13.1-RELEASE) are to make sure a 
zfsroot UEFI-boot system with a failed boot disk still boots, given the 
need to have a partition with an msdos filesystem to boot?

My first take is that I'll need to manually update each disks' efi code 
whenever /boot/loader.efi is updated, including after directly after a 
fresh installation?

Something that is irking me though, is that a device name is also 
hard-coded into /etc/fstab, so if the drive fails, a mounted filesystem 
also breaks.  I don't see how this can be a good thing, and will also 
interfere with a clean reboot, even if the boot code exists elsewhere.

My guess is, like swap, it might be possible to gmirror across my RAID 
this filesystem and remove all of these considerations.  Is this the 
best practice?

I originally tried to revert to BIOS boot where I wouldn't have these 
concerns, but was unsuccessful at getting my nvme devices to boot.

Thoughts appreciated!
