I think that for what you want to do, editing is fine. I've edited
that file in the past to change the kernel command line, and it worked
fine. I think the warning is there so that people won't think that any
changes they make there instead of in the /etc/default/grub file will
be permanent. The command line changes will hold until you run
grub2-mkconfig again, and then they will be overwritten in the new
grub.cfg by what is in /etc/default/grub. Installing a new kernel
won't override them, as program grubby copies the options from the
previous kernel to the new kernel during the install.

If you edit this line, and add the options you want at the end of the
line, separated by a space, and then run grub2-mkconfig, they will be
set on all your installed kernels.

The GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX sets the linux command line options. The
options available are in the kernel documentation. You should be able
to look them up at kernel.org. I am not sure how to change the initrd
line via grub, as I have never done it.
I see these options in the kernel documentation:
bootconfig [KNL]
Extended command line options can be added to
an initrd and this will cause the kernel to look for it.
See Documentation/admin-guide/bootconfig.rst
initrd= [BOOT] Specify the location of the initial ramdisk
initrdmem= [KNL] Specify a physical address and size from
which to load the initrd. If an initrd is compiled in or
specified in the bootparams, it takes priority
over this setting.
Format: ss[KMG],nn[KMG]
Default is 0, 0

As above or you can edit the grub.cfg file if you understand the
shortcomings, that it will be overwritten with the options in
/etc/default/grub whenever you run grub2-mkconfig.
If you want to use the custom sections of the grub.cfg file, you would
put your entries in the appropriate file in /etc/grub.d and then run
grub2-mkconfig so that they will be picked up.
