everything these days should boot from USB. As for re-writing, how often do you write anything to /boot?
I think the problem is not so much explicitly WRITING to the CF device, but unless you have it mounted with the 'noatime' option it will get written to every time you access a file on that filesystem. I'm not sure if that would eliminate all writes to the filesystem, either.
Just my $.02
