FreeBSD 13/stable and zpool upgrade

In the past there was this nice warning explaining what to do:

gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0

Now, what would be the new procedure for that ?

Well, it's very dangerous, and having a way to know how to fix
it would be very important.

I understand. But if the installer does not know that she/he needs to
do something with some bootx64.efi file... ?

Can't zpool upgrade mention the necessary steps, as it did before ?
