I recently updated and tested my "HowTo" if I decide to rebuild my system as UEFI instead of legacy BIOS. This is using ext4 so it is not the same as what you want, but you might want to try it just to prove that you get no error or do still get an error. Not suggesting to fully create the system, just to get past the define process...
(Done in VirtualBox)
Using the XFCE Live Fedora 42 .iso image.
Used EFI and "Secure Boot".
Basic EFI install on dual raid1. Just need /boot/efi and /
Could add /home, /data, etc if wanted. This is a GPT format, so it is not limited to 4 physical partitions.
Use Blivet/Advanced partition thing.
1 Raid 1, efi part, on /boot/efi
2 Raid 1, ext4 on /
+
Device type: Software RAID (check both drives)
RAID level: raid1
Filesystem: EFI System Partition
Label: efi
Name: EFI
Mountpoint: /boot/efi
Size: 250 MiB / 262 MB
OK
Select "free space"
+
Device type: Software RAID (check both drives)
RAID level: raid1
Label: boot
Name: BOOT
Mountpoint: /
OK
Create user (root is optional)
Start install.
/boot/efi is raid version 1.0
Root is version 1.2
