Employee evaluation is not defamation. Boss evaluation is called 360 and has been around forever. I regularly submitted my direct reports to my boss for candid comments about my performance. It's part of a healthy culture.
Also, maybe we're all ICs here, but your boss has a boss who is asking the same damn question about them as they are about you. And up it goes until you reach the board, YC, etc, who just has a different kind of boss.

Feedback that is based on evidence is not defamation.
False statements that damage your reputation are defamation. And managers can engage in defamation.
