To clarify the above: contents of /boot in the current officiall image (2020-08-20) are larger than 50MB

@Seamus Yes, I did and it fixed my problem regarding moving my system from a 3B+ to a 4B - the whole config could be restored as is on the new hardware. The official documentation claims elf-files to be firmware (incl. specific Pi4 elf's), the boot section of the official, fresh image is already larger (even with light version). I can only imagine removing some kernel?.img to save space as alternative, but have not tried and it would create the same space-limitation problems during the next upgrade, so no good fix.

Thus increasing the boot partition is a must. . I don't think this is correct - have you actually tried this? Firmware for the 4B is stored in EEPROM - not in /boot. And when it is downloaded during an apt update it is stored in /lib/firmware/raspberrypi/bootloader/. It is not stored in the boot partition on a 4B. Please read The Organization's documentation of the process; you may wish to revise your answer accordingly.
