If your system boots, then probably, yes.

If so, why does the Fedora installer propose a separate
/boot in this EFI hardware case with GPT partitioning?

The kernel and initrd need to be in a place that GRUB2 can read them. Anaconda can build up a lot of different storage stacks, and it's simpler and more reliable to default to putting the kernel and initrd on their own partition. It's more likely to produce a working system, and beyond that, it's a lot easier to work with if you need to do any kind of repair/recovery.

Are there
advantages/disadvantages? Skipping the creation of a separate /boot
seems very convenient since a new install under LVM would only require
one new physical partition

Well, two, at least. You need your EFI partition and your LVM partition, at a minimum.
