beadm vs bectl

hi there - i have a zfs based system where /boot is on its own pool.  
beadm seems happy enough with this setup but bectl errors out like so:

$ sudo bectl list
/ and /boot not on same device, quitting
$

$ beadm list

resume_works       -      -           12.6G 2018-06-01 16:45
$

reading the manpage for bectl it doesn't mention this being an issue.  
so i guess i have two questions:
1) is it a bad thing(tm) to have /boot on its own pool?
2) assuming that having /boot on its  own pool, why does bectl not work 
with this configuration?

thanks!
