Thank you so much for sharing that! It’s actually the first time I’ve seen such a thing. It tracks with the info I was able to coax from Harold. 600 MB EFI, 1GB boot, everything else on root.

In gparted did you unlock the LUKs partition? From memory I had to do that before I could do any resizing.

Yes. I did de-crypt the encrypted partition.

I a have a fresh Bluefin install with the default 600MB EFI partition and the 1GB boot partition. The initramdisk (for a luks encrypted install) takes up around 140MB, the kernel 16MB, the grub config files are less than 16kB. As for the EFI partition, the grub install occupies 13MB.

If we assume 160MB per ostree deployment, the boot partition would only be able to hold 5 to 6.
