Don’t use grub2-mkconfig, it is really only for initial grub configuration. It has a problematic past in CentOS 7 too. Disabling blscfg is possible but it isn’t the default setup and not the recommended way of updating kernel entries.
If you need to update kernel parameters, use grubby. That’s what is run in the kernel package install scripts (via new-kernel-package). That’s what is run in packages like the nvidia 3rd party packages.
