Yes, installonlyn plugin keeps n number of old kernels (including the
last kernel you ran)
So the tokeep option there is deceptive.
The tokeep=2 obviously means keep the last one and the one being
installed.
I would hope that this means the running kernel regardless of where it
is in the current list, or it would really break things.

Almost. It does not remove the running kernel. (if I remember correctly)
