Hi.
I need some guidance here.

I want to replace the boot drive of a computer and then add a second drive to create a Raid1 system for the boot and / filesytem. For now, home will stay where it its, on a separate drive for now.

The Boot drive is old. It is a Crucial SSD  about 8 years old. 
It holds the /boot/efi directory on a small FAT partition, the /boot partition on an EXT4 partition and the root (/) on a btrfs partition. 

/home is on another, HDD and larger drive with a btrfs partition.
This is a home computer and not kind of mission critical. 

Here come my questions.
1. Can I move everything on the SSD to a new SSD with everything under btrfs? From what I have been reading it seems like /boot/efi still needs to be on a vfat partition, but /boot could be moved into btrfs. Would it still need a different partition or can it live within the same partition with the / filesystem?
2. I understand from what I have been reading that btrfs has Raid1 capabilities therefore I could add the second drive and from btrfs add it to the partition as a mirror. But if vfat has to exist for the /boot/efi, how am I supposed to mirror it?
I have read some articles but they seem kind of old (more than 3 years) and it seems like the way Fedora does it is not a standard way. I'd rather not have to use a hardware RAID controller.

I would appreciate your insights.

Thanks
