Why did you stick with MBR partitioning rather than GPT?

It might be a good thing that you are starting over.

With an ESP, you wouldn't need a separate /boot partition.

Why do you want so many separate partitions on a notebook?

I see that Andrew posted a summary of how you could proceed.
Others might do the same. But there were so many pitfalls
in your first attempt, would it not be sensible for you to
post, in a little more detail, how you intend to build the next
machine, invite criticism, and then refine your plan, rather
than just going for the "big reveal" in a few days time.

Personally, my biggest worry would be dealing with Windows.
But I don't know what resources you have for that.

Cheers,
David.
