I /think/ you're right there.

Any reason you bury the iniitrd in the options list rather that having it
on a separate line? This is what I'm now using:

title	Desktop
version	5.4.38-gentoo
linux	vmlinuz-5.4.38-gentoo
options	root=LABEL=yooden rd.luks.uuid=luks-...
initrd	intel-uc.img
initrd	initramfs-5.4.38-gentoo.img
