Fedora 38 when I will be sure that I can have control on the full installation.
The risk is that I lost more control, typically on the installation of sda4

 

The way I test out new Fedora releases is to see if the live image works on my hardware.

 

The other way is that I have a external USB-3 SSD drive that I use for deeper testing that

needs specific software installed. For example when I had nvidia GPU I would test out the

rpmfusion drivers this way.

 

In both cases I do not need to figure out how to setup a single grub to work with OS installed

on 2 drives.

 

Having said that I wonder if you have two sets of BLS files that you need to merge into

your preferred /boot (assuming you have multiple /boot's and f38 and an f40).

Should I merge something ?

Yes, copy over the entry file that is the grub menu items you are missing.

So long as you do not delete anything this should be safe to do.

Then reboot test the entries.
