On a UEFI boot system you need a dedicated EFI partition with a EFI file system 
(it has a dedicated partition id) because the system firmware looks for that id 
and the specific file system. 
even if there was enough space.
Fedora currently needs grub2 to boot the system. It must not use the EFI 
partition, even if there was enough space. In Fedora boot-up system, grub2 
needs its own partition, traditionally with ext4, but meanwhile, xls also 
works. Technically, it could share the partition with the system and does not 
need its own. Many distributions work this way. Fedora might work that way, 
too. However, it is neither recommended nor supported. And it may result in 
unexpected errors. So it is best to keep it in its own partition.
