Not sure of how much use it is for you. Not for me currently but may be of interest.
Using grub is way more flexible. Having only one bootable kernel is not convinient which is what you essentially have if you make a UEFI boot entry pointing at a kernel directly. Sure if your system has a UEFI shell (most desktop and laptop machines seem allergic to that concept) then you could certainly boot such a kernel by picking the one you want, although you would have to then enter all the arguments for the kernel manually which is a hassle. I can't really see an actual use case for the EFISTUB. -- Len Sorensen
