I run grub (no dracut) under openrc but "emerge -pv installkernel" shows...
[ebuild U ] sys-kernel/installkernel-18::gentoo [12::gentoo] USE="-dracut* -grub -module-rebuild% -systemd% -uki -ukify" 8 KiB
Does this mean I can safely ignore it in my case?

Do you use grub-mkconfig instead of a custom config? If yes, the grub
USE flag will call that for you. You can also disable the dracut USE
flag so you don't get a warning about dracut missing when you "make
install" the new kernel.
