Fedora has version 2.06 of grub2 which has support for argon2id patched
in, though it is slated to be native in the 2.11 release of grub2.
https://www.phoronix.com/news/GRUB-2.11-Next-Year
However it is much later than a year, and 2.11 is not out.  There were
extensive discussions of including a patch to allow it in 2.06
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2020-02/msg00040.html
And it seems that support was added.

Fedora has the argon2 package.

I see this reference to a patch to add argon2 support to grub2 for Arch:
https://mdleom.com/blog/2022/11/27/grub-luks2-argon2/

I haven't done it, but after doing this research, I think the answer to
your question is yes, you can follow those instructions in Fedora.
What isn't clear to me is if it is possible to do it directly without
following those instructions.  That is, is there native argon2id
support now backported to grub2 2.06?  Maybe someone with direct
experience can give better tuned advice.
