Confirmed. With the search entry in grub.cfg, I can remove the 'root=' kernel parameter and the box successfully boots if I have a 'UUID=' parameter for the / partition where /boot resides. If I have the 'search' line, remove the 'root=' kernel parameter and retain a '/dev/sdb1' style fstab entry for the / partition then the box fails to boot again. So, all 3 have to be in sync. It is the 'root=UUID=' format for the kernel parameter, not GRUB, that forces the use of an initrd as the kernel has no way of translating a UUID to a block device.
