Note this is what ostree (as used by Fedora Atomic Host) does.
What's using (approximate) bootloaderspec drop-in snippets? Is that
rpm-ostree? I know Fedora carries bls.mod patch for GRUB 2 to support
those snippets, rather than depending on rewriting or modifying
grub.cfg; I'm not sure what the status of this work is for syslinux,
if any.
