What is the advantage in having the /boot/efi on a single partition,

UEFI doesn't boot from code stuffed into a tiny section of the MBR.
Under UEFI, the non-volatile RAM holds a description of possibly several
bootloaders. Each description consists of a label, and a device
identifier (disk and partition, for example) where a FAT32 filesystem is
expected, and a path within that filesystem. On a UEFI Fedora system,
you can run "efibootmgr" to print the current list in NVRAM.
