Just in case if someone is not aware: syslinux (pxe, ext) shipped with Fedora is in very good state - form about 2016 I am using the package for all my booting needs (grub2 is too complex for me):

 * PXE/Legacy,UEFI
 * Physical (partition) Legacy, ESP-UEFI
 * VM Legacy - for VMs (and USB sticks) usually it is not even needed
   to partition the VM disk, just extlinux the VM FS volume.
   I do not tried VM/UEFI so far.

so (in my experience) any instance will have easy switchable UEFI/Non-UEFI boot option even if the other bootloaders discontinue legacy mode support.

I do not know if syslinux/extlinux have support in Anaconda, since I am not using Anaconda for my imaging needs.

Kind Regards,
Alek
