Why bother with a /boot partition any more? Is there any advantage

Some times there is need, yes.
Name one.
I don't use a boot partition either, but maybe when the root filesystem is on LVM or encrypted or something like that?
Correct.
Wrong.
May also be needed with some RAID modes.
Wrong again.
Also I tried not too long ago to install Leap on XFS root without /boot, and I couldn't, grub failed.
That's correct, you cannot *install* GRUB on partition with XFS because XFS does not reserve the first sector for partition boot record. It does not mean you cannot install GRUB somewhere else (MBR, extended partition) and use it with /boot on XFS.
