That's essentially what I did.

I also get the long wait for USB (an external dock in my case). AFAIK
it happens before the kernel boot sequence runs, because there are some
flashing lights from the dock before the Grub menu appears. There might
be a way of disabling it in the UEFI but I haven't figured it out yet.
