Not according to the documentation, which indicates that:
"grub2-install shouldn't be used on EFI systems. The grub2-efi package
installs a prebaked grubx64.efi on the EFI System partition, which looks for
grub.cfg on the ESP in /EFI/fedora/ whereas the grub2-install command
creates a custom grubx64.efi, deletes the original installed one, and looks
for grub.cfg in /boot/grub2/."
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2
I hadn't read that page. I stand corrected.
How nice that Fedora diverges from upstream. But since this is the
case, grub2-install should be patched to say so rather than tell the
user "Please specify --target or --directory"...
