The ESP is more important for booting than /boot. It's a bit weird you are fun with writes to the former, but have issues with the latter. Generally: boot counting/assement/fallback data is best attached to the resources it's supposed to cover, to make rotating/vacuuming of that data obvious and robust. Otherwise if you remove a boot entry you need to find the matching data at a completely different place and remove that too, which is quite fragile. sd-boot implements boot counting by stashing the counter inside the UKI (or bootspec type #1 conf file) file name, so that the counter is impossible to ever get lost, pile up or so.
