Booted with UEFI and secure boot, but proxmox-boot-tool shows "configured with grub"?

Currently trying to figure if setting dnodesize=auto is safe for rpool, as it is both my boot pool and my VM/LXC boot pool. According to this thread it is safe to do so, but I'm concerned that "configured with grub" will cause issues booting. The user in that post showed their proxmox-boot-tool status output to say "configured with uefi", but when I run the same command it states "configured with grub".

Code:
System currently booted with uefi
3B1D-CD94 is configured with: grub (versions: 6.8.12-4-pve, 6.8.12-5-pve)
4067-327A is configured with: grub (versions: 6.8.12-4-pve, 6.8.12-5-pve)

Does this indicate that it is unsafe to use dnodesize=auto on my root pool due to my install using grub despite being booted with uefi? Or does "configured with" have no real bearing on this issue and instead "currently booted with uefi" is what matters?

I installed PVE back in September of this year, so the install method used secure boot.

yes, as long as your bootloader is managed by proxmox-boot-tool, your kernel shouldn't be on ZFS but on the ESP, so grub shouldn't have any issue reading it no matter which ZFS settings/features you use ;)
