Piefed is another instance type that is growing in popularity, and a few instances are now turning on the API. As such, apps are also implementing support.
It would be great if Boost would support it too. Hopefully the extra development overhead isn't too bad.

The API for third-party apps (frontends, bots, etc) is 95% the same as the Lemmy API.

I am not sure how much work it would be to make boost work with Piefed.
But I'm at the same dilemma right now: do I want to switch to a piefed instance and try it out? Then I'd need to abandon boost and use an UI that I consider worse. Or I pick another lemmy instance so I can keep using boost.
Having the ability to use piefed with boost would be awesome.
