And neither do I.
Except someone talked about ssl libs.

If you have a desire to move /lib/modules why don't move it and
everything you need to boot to /boot.

From what I understand uefi requires some vfat (or ext2 for mbr) boot
partition first in disk. Then include ahci (which would handle the
majority of not to old sata disk controllers out there) and vfat in
the kernel. Mount /boot in your initrd and go from there. /boot can
always be mounted read-only unless when changing kernel and boot
things. Files in /boot don't need user id's nor unix permissions so
vfat is perfectly ok.
