I'm not saying it's not "odd", just that it's not "typical". Since you "fixed" it, though, it's impossible to diagnose after the fact.

Next time, if it happens, send me support email and we'll...

Yes, everything before boot is in the EFI/BIOS. Firmware updates to that are in the OS install packages and aren't available separately.

No, Dan, it won't. If the system does not know how to communicate with APFS, the drive won't even mount.

If the OS supports APFS, we're happy to copy to APFS. Anything on 10.13 or later should be able to boot from APFS as well...unless that Mac has never had its firmware updated to add the support.

I have no idea, unfortunately. We're not doing anything weird with the drive, and don't interact directly with encryption at all.

Maybe your users on the internal drive are bad? You may want to consider reinstalling the OS to the internal (pretty basic and non-destructive) from Recovery.

There's no need to change things to HFS+. I would erase the whole drive, from the hardware (top), and format as APFS from the get-go.
