Unless your UEFI supports reading from an encrypted drive you will at minimum have part of GRUB unencrypted up until the point where you enter a decryption key.

Unless your UEFI supports reading from an encrypted drive you will at minimum have part of GRUB unencrypted up until the point where you enter a decryption key. so at least initialization, cryptography and filesystem drivers (or module loading) are unencrypted. I hope they are at least secure boot signed else the entire thing is security theater.
But at that point why even encrypt boot and not use something like a signed UKI for decrypting the rest of the disk? That way at least you only have the kernel, its modules and userspace (the initrd usually being a subset of the actual system) as bug/exploit surface instead of also including GRUB and all its modules ontop of that.
