Apparently Trixie needs a larger boot petition than prior versions and therefore I have to do new installs on three of my homelab machines - and probably my proxmox machine too. What a headache.

That sounds concerning, especially since Debian had hard-coded (!) a tiny /boot partition for encrypted disks for a long time. This already caused problems quite frequently (you have to manually delete them quite frequently, and which inhibits your ability to revert after a kernel regression - which, hm, I have noted to have been relatively common for Debian 12 "Bookworm" compared to usual ... hopefully Trixie is better, but if it makes the kernel-management problem harder that's a bad sign)
