Some distributions (e.g. NixOS) store their kernels on the EFI partition, going small will bite you on those. 1GB is a good size. The Windows default of 100MB is only enough to store two kernels.
Edit: This might actually be systemd-boot specific.
This is true. I used a 1gb boot partition on my Nixos install and every time I update it I need to delete all the old kernels/initrd and sometimes I even delete the one that’s currently running.

I use NixOS, and read my comment again. /boot/efi is only for GRUB. /boot is where the actual kernels reside, and it isn’t on the EFI partition.
Might actually be
systemd-bootthing, not a NixOS specific thing, either way, this is where my kernels are:/boot/EFI/nixos/vnmrdbd7a5rg6482d6p8zxc57xf2nxqb-linux-6.1.44-bzImage.efi
/boot is straight up the EFI partition, there is no separate /boot partition.
yeah that’s probably because systemd-boot only supports FAT
*FAT32
I doubt it doesn’t support FAT16
