Maintain PWM Output Across Reboot

Is it possible to reboot the ESP32 CPU while maintaining the PWM output? Or, what is the minimum glitch we could expect in this scenario?

Suppose I have 50% duty cycle, 1kHz PWM output running. Then we reboot. If in 2nd stage bootloader we avoid touching the PWM peripheral, and then reconfigure the peripheral, I imagine that the glitch of the PWM on reboot could be held to just a few microseconds, rather than tens milliseconds (?) for the reboot.

Anyone with some insight here LMK. I'll try some experiments this week and report my findings, but I'd appreciate a pointer. Thanks!
