My understanding is that this notifier first prints info about ECC
errors and then triggers reboot. It might make sense to split it
into two notifiers.

Blinking => should go to the last "post_reboot/loop" list.

Same here. Blinking => should go to the last "post_reboot/loop" list.

The rest of the moved notifiers seem to fit well this "pre_reboot"
list.
