Honestly I'm surprised grub is still going post-UEFI. It's now pretty much entirely unnecessary. Your simplest path is probably UEFI-stub, where there is no extra bootloader, just your BIOS loads the kernel. The main disadvantage is this is subject to the whims of your hardware manufacturer to implement it in a usable manner. If you want a nicer menu then systemd-boot is your next simplest option (despite the name, it is actually more or less seperate from systemd apart from maintenance and systemd having some integration with it).
