Can you boot from an exFAT USB? Absolutely, but not by using one partition for USB booting. In order to make an exFAT bootable USB flash drive boot in UEFI mode, you will need to format the USB with multiple partitions. Then, install Grub2 on the boot partition. And finally, set your computer system BIOS or UEFI to boot from the flash drive to confirm that it boots.
