On reference designs, BOOT0 is being pulled down with a 10k resistor. If I know I only want to boot from the main flash memory, can I connect BOOT0 directly to GND? How would you get into a situation where you need to boot from system memory or SRAM?

You can connect it directly to ground.
It just means if you manage to get into a situation where the only exit is to use the BOOT0 pin to go into bootloader, it depends on your PCB and MCU package if you can access the BOOT0 pin any more to set it high.
