I’ve heard that the original Linux kernel binaries+blobs are pretty huge
The kernel is <10MB and the initrd <20MB. "Pretty huge" is relative here.
You could override your kernel and strip stuff out of the initrd and I can assure you that it's going to be a lot of pain but it's easier to just make a 1GB boot partition these days and pretty much never worry about bloat again.
