There are no boot partitions. To minimize partition proliferation I
include /boot in each partition with it's distro. The one fake /boot
that holds grub does just that. holds grub. No kernels.

No big deal to you but that's a lot of work. Every time a distro
updates a kernel it grabs all the other kernels and then you have to
clean out grub. I personally would NOT share the boot partition for
this reason. I have 5 distros installed and a lot of kernels. YMMV

Humbly, I disagree. The whole point of using GAG is to MINIMIZE the
amount of work I have to do to maintain or fix the system. Again, the
reason I switched from grub.
