Hi, I'm interested in this as well.

I'm not using root-on-zfs. The zpool is 5* spinning rust, the booting
media is ssd/ufs2. Is updating the bootcode only relevant for
root-on-zfs? I've not done that for a similarly configured desktop
system, and it seems to be running stable/13 fine. (the desktop was a
stable/12 to stable/13 upgrade).

thanks,
