5 No because how it's done is totally dependent on your needs. There's no one correct way to do it. Even in common cases, some may choose to use certain kinds of file systems or other things that cannot be covered. Gentoo is all about customisability.

7 Shameless plug: use upgrade-kernel from my upkeep package[1] (which is on tatsh-overlay)[2] . It supports updating/rebuilding the kernel plus MBR|UEFI/GRUB/Dracut and systemd-boot+UEFI/Dracut/kernel signing (latest HEAD only).
