This is possible using standard efi boot with the cooperation of the
bios.  Just use two efi partitions, and prioritize the default one in
the bios boot menu.  Not as sophisticated as what you do, but I am
usually not running updates on the rescue system. I install the latest
fedora rawhide once a year, usually, so the rescue system is out of
support. Fine for rescue.
