Only if you’re a follower of Lennart Poettering’s propaganda machine. 
Using /efi as the mountpoint is indeed recommended… if you use systemd-boot instead of GRUB, and to the best of my knowledge, Fedora is the only distribution that does it that way.
Strictly speaking, the EFI partition doesn’t even need to be mounted at all, unless you’re reinstalling the boot loader or — as I said — if you use systemd-boot. The Gentoo community doesn’t even mount /boot if it’s a separate partition. /boot and /boot/efi (or /efi) are never accessed during normal system operation, and /boot is only written to during an upgrade.
I have /boot on a separate partition — ext4, because I use btrfs for the rest — and I normally have it mounted read-only. Likewise for /boot/efi.
