Yes, I checked and it is actually slightly more than 32 K.

That was also my concern.

Other than that I actually gave it a quick try and PCIe/NVMe does indeed work and the regular boot is not
affected (other than the slight size and boot time increase, of course).

For us the question is basically whether that use case does mandate enforcing such changes for each and every
customer. Plus the regular expected maintenance effort any such change brings with it, of course.
