I disagree that it's grave. It's not broken for everybody. You copied
the binary to the fallback path to cope with non-compliant firmware,
your proposed solution is certainly not the right way, and even if it
sounds harsh you cannot expect this solution to last during upgrades,
unless you add a hook to, say, /etc/grub.d.

What does efibootmgr -v say?

Kind regards
