I wish it were possible. I'm pretty sure the Red Hat bootloader team has no 
time or interest in it. And there's no upgrade path, because systemd-boot 
requires a FAT /boot volume. The lack of an upgrade path, I think, is a bigger 
issue than a system-wide change proposal to: switch to systemd-boot on UEFI, 
including FAT /boot partition, for new clean installs.

There's quite a lot of GRUB upstream work related to TPM stuff, including 
measured boot. I have no idea if we're going to use any of that at some point, 
but it's not something in systemd-boot's realm.

Given resources, I expect it would be more likely to replace GRUB with 
systemd-boot, on UEFI, than support both. And the likelihood of anything but 
GRUB I'd put at "very low". I'd like to be wrong but...
