One issue I have with it is that I can't snapshot it like the rest of my system, but I don't really know if any other bootloader solves this issue


Well there's https://zfsbootmenu.org/ if you're on ZFS, but that's a whole different thing


I don't think there is any boot setup that is better suited to being snapshoted than a "Unified Kernel Image".

With an UKI your whole boot setup is a self-contained and portable EFI executable.


How would you snapshot that? Afaik EFI doesn't support snapshottable filesystems


You don't need "snapshottable filesystems" to make filesystem snapshots.
