That doesn’t sound right to me. /etc/fstab is interpreted by a userland
process (/sbin/init). That only starts running after the kernel has been
booted. So mounting the boot partition at this point will make no
difference to your running kernel. (Presumably /boot/firmware might
contain firmware relevant to connected hardware and its drivers, but
that’s a separate issue.)

(Not a Raspberry Pi user, but this should be basic Linux stuff common to
all architectures.)
