I suppose my concern with that is that a firmware developer might
feel justified in poking about in the ESP, which they might consider
is there "for them".

I have seen quite a few first hand reports of motherboard firmware
that writes empty GPT when it sees a drive with no GPT, which I had
previously considered unthinkable, so I do worry about trusting in
the firmware developers.

Thanks,
Andy
