Regarding additional ESP - that is what openSUSE did a while back, and
it hit nasty issue with Windows - it gets completely confused to the
point where attempt to repair boot (using recovery boot from DVD)
destroys Windows EFI loader. So that is not an option either, although
this would be easy from installer PoV.

And of course having second ESP renders generator unusable either.
