FWIW, we don't use a separate partition and haven't had any issues (we do set up / as a separate partition only 5GB large). We have over 150 systems that have been chugging along with many versions of CentOS this way for years.
It was always recommended to have /boot as a separate partition. Note that you MUST have /efi as a separate partition, and that has to be mounted /boot/EFI/efi.... What a pain.
We only use ext3,4 filesystems though. And no volume manager.
We've mostly moved to ext4, and we're moving, at least for drives > 2TB, to upstream's default of xfs.

Separate partition, 100% of the time.
