Is /boot separate from the EFI partition on Fedora?

Yup—it's on its own ext4 partition

Wait, so they have the GRUB EFI executable on the standard Fat32 partition and then it reads the kernel images from another partition? I didn't know that was possible

Mhmm, that's correct! GRUB ships with its own FS drivers, which enable that, AFAIK
