My opinion: This is probably easier in a live discussion on IRC or Matrix. There's just too much back and forth required.

But the absolute easiest thing to do is mount the encrypted btrfs, make a backup of the home directory, and then clean install followed by restoring the home directory files from the backup.

Sound advice.

Otherwise you and at just one other person have to have a fairly intense conversation about very low level esoterics. Boot is very distro specific. There's maybe two or three dozen steps to repair this setup. They all have to be exactly correct or it won't work. Much of this logic is in the installer.

and differs over time as well as distro, so is hard to deal with for those of use who have to work with multiple distros and versions.

<https://0pointer.net/blog/brave-new-trusted-boot-world.html> has a summary of the current linux
boot process, then discusses a proposal for a Unified Kernel Image (UKI) that is intended to
improve security and simplify the user side of the configuration process.
