Hi,

No.  The linux efi stub doesn't need that.

shim.efi does:

  (a) Set efi variables, where the linux kernel can read the
      certificates from.  This works the same way for both traditional
      kernels and UKIs.

  (b) provide an efi protocol for bootloaders, which can be called by grub
      and systemd-boot to verify the signature for binaries they load
      (typically the linux kernel, but could also be fwupd.efi).

take care,
  Gerd
