So after insmod, see if mount /boot/efi works. And if it does then exit.

And then, figure out why vfat.ko isn't loading. That I don't understand. I don't think it needs to be in the initramfs. But maybe once /boot/efi is mounted, it's worth doing dracut -f to rebuild the initramfs, and then reboot.

If that doesn't fix it, I'm curious whether the grub menu kernel options work. I'd try them in reverse order.

I have had this problem once before, it was the identical error but in my case was only with the rescue kernel option which is actually a rescue initramfs. The problem was that vfat.ko isn't built into the non-host initramfs and the rescue kernel /lib/modules directory had since been deleted so there wasn't a vfat.ko available. Sorta makes the rescue option not much of a rescue but whatever - your situation is the opposite, you have vfat.ko it's just not loading for some reason. What about

cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
