It depends. Probably ok since the boot image is not patched incrementally (I believe) even on incremental updates.
If the update is 1.5 GB it's ok. If it's 300 MB, probably ok, but you should check.

Thank you. Do both the patched boot.img and vbmeta need to be flashed after every update?

Edit: I misunderstood your question. If you use Magisk you should patch the new boot.img and flash it.

They probably should be, why not? Although it's unlikely that the changes break anything. OTOH, unlike the earlier Onyx, the newer ones have a ton more loadable kernel modules and if something doesn't agree it will break things:

Btw, anyone know how to get digital wellbeing working with app time restrictions, or other good ways to limit use time on our boox?

How do you mean that?
I've already got a restriction on my Poke5 that I can't read more than 1440 minutes per day.

Where are you going to set up the restriction?

That's 24 hours in minutes...
