Just my take on it...
Installer should install EFI on all disks in the pool for redundancy and 
it would be nice to put entries in the fstab with noouto, a separate 
mountpoint in /mnt/ (or somewhere else?) would be nice for easier 
updates. And there should be some simple script to update EFI after a 
system upgrade on all EFI partitions defined in /etc/fstab. No magic 
guesswork, just use information stored by installer.

Kind regards
