What complexity? I have a couple EFI machines booting via Grub, and they
work great. I just had to ensure the correct GRUB_TARGET in make.conf
and then after I had my partitions setup and formatted, I just did
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/EFI and it went
smooth as silk as long as I didn't have /boot on newer ZFS setup. Even
ZFS would work if you setup /boot to be a separate dataset and make it
with absolute minimal options.
