Mhmm, that’s correct! GRUB ships with its own FS drivers, which enable that, AFAIK

Yup—it’s on its own ext4 partition

I used to have an issue with my screen either freezing or going blank and staying this way until after initiating a soft reboot. Disabling Panel Self Refresh (PSR) on my daily driver is what fixed that for me, but this workaround only applies to laptops/tablets and seems to not be the exact same issue reported here.

Thanks a lot! This clarifies it for me, and if I understand correctly, it shouldn’t be a concern for me since my laptop isn’t used for data-intensive computing.
