Try GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
The documentation could be out of date.  That's what's in
my /etc/default/grub file, and I commented it out in order to get the
style of grub.cfg *with* submenus, and that worked.  You do have to
regenerate the grub.cfg file in order for these settings to take effect,
and you have to do it in the /boot/grub2 directory with the -o command,
grub2-mkconfig -o grub.cfg
You probably did it this way, but it isn't clear to me from your
description, so I thought I'd say it again.

All of these settings are under Configuration -> Simple Configuration
from the main menu for pinfo grub2.  If I understand what you are saying
correctly, yes, that is what GFXPAYLOAD controls.

If you changed those in the /etc/default/grub file, and ran the above
command again, and it didn't change the boot messages, then that
isn't the setting you need.  Try, order matters,
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080,1600x900,1280x720,1024x576,auto
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
The early boot is problematic because the video modes available to
grub2 are restricted, so you might not be able to get what you want
there.
