You can try to backup /boot first and boot a live USB (e.g., Ubuntu or GParted Live). Then open GParted, shrink / (root), and expand /boot to 1GB. And you can reboot to os. This is safer than tweaking mkinitcpio.conf. Your Intel GPU (i915) will work fine—no need to add xe.
I would advise against resizing partitions, since it could risk data loss. I'm not sure how big of a risk it actually is though, as I've rarely ever resized partitions. Tweaking mkinitcpio.conf is much much safer in my opinion though, even if you completely screw up the config and the initramfs makes your system unbootable, there's zero risk of data loss. You can easily boot the ISO and chroot to revert mkinitcpio.conf back, and rebuild the initramfs. Best Regards, AlphaLynx
