There are still good reasons to not require unnecessary stuff on your boot device in spite of the fact that you've managed to find one way to work around the problem on one kind of hardware at a cost you can afford.
Typically your boot device is mounted at /boot (or, arguably, is the initrd) which isn't affected by the merge.
Personally, I think the merge is perfectly well reasoned, and I'm glad to see the system simplified. However, the wisdom of the merge is no longer a useful debate. It is coming, and separating / and /usr in your partitioning is no longer advised. You will lose functionality in future releases if you continue to do so.
