That makes sense. As I wrote, it was just a very quick check
using default presets. Didn't go as far as configure anything

If you comment out the rsync line that copies the system in refractasnapshot, you'll end up with an iso that just has the boot menu. It's a much faster way to test. (Or, you could just shorten the menu entries.)
