When I say "this use case" I'm not recommending it for you necessarily. I'm 
saying for those who insist on having bootloaders installed to 
partitions/volumes rather than using GRUB the way it's intended to work, should 
use extlinux which is designed expressly to work by being installed to each 
partition's VBR.

I would just use the Fedora installation of GRUB, let it step on Ubuntu's 
installation of GRUB (which still keeps the Ubuntu grub.cfg intact), and then 
edit Fedora's /etc/grub.d/40_custom file to add  an Ubuntu configuration entry 
that uses configfile pointing to Ubuntu's grub.cfg. That way anytime you run 
grub2-mkconfig on Fedora, the resulting grub.cfg always has an entry that 
points to Ubuntu (as well as Fedora entries). And Ubuntu kernel updates will be 
reflected in its grub.cfg.
