I /think/ you're right there.

Any reason you bury the iniitrd in the options list rather that having it
on a separate line? This is what I'm now using:

title   Desktop
version 5.4.38-gentoo
linux   vmlinuz-5.4.38-gentoo
options root=LABEL=yooden rd.luks.uuid=luks-...
initrd  intel-uc.img
initrd  initramfs-5.4.38-gentoo.img
