The other question is why use GRUB on a modern system? UEFI boot managers |
| 10 |
are far simpler to work with than GRUBs monster configuration file and in |
| 11 |
that case it makes sense to combine /boot with the ESP and use VFAT for |
| 12 |
it. |

As for the original question, AIUI ext2 was recommended more because there |
| 15 |
was no need for ext3/4 and journalling on such a small filesystem, rather |
| 16 |
than there being any compelling reason for not using ext4, so use what |
| 17 |
you want. |
