Not true.  I finally found the issue. If you don't checkmark your
bootable disks under "Boot Options" (VM Properties in virt-manager), any
entries created with efibootmgr or thru the UEFI's menu -  against that
disk- will be lost.

I performed the Fedora 33 installation once again (RAID 1 setup) and
this time I made sure that both disks were checkmarked. At the end of
the installation I see "two" separate "Fedora" boot entries and they
persist. Sorry for the noise!

Now, I wished we were able to perform internal snapshots with UEFI-based
VMs thru virt-manager but that's another story :)
