I hadn't even looked into creating a new partition under
/boot/efi/EFI with a unique name, and what would be required for
it to work.  Is it really as simple as changing GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=
in /etc/default/grub, and everything else happens automatically?

How would dnf know about that changed name in order to install the
shim?

DNF knows because it's a front-end to RPM, which operates according
to the content of the grub2-efi rpm and /etc/default/grub, Grub's
config file. Pretend it has .conf appended if necessary to
understand. The value set for GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR= establishes the
location on the ESP where the efi file(s) must be located.

This is good to know.  I had assumed that the shim location was
hardcoded in the rpm, so this is more flexible.

The shim location *is* hardcoded in the rpm. I don't know what that setting will affect.
