Right. And the original command works there.

I think we have a packaging problem on x86_64. On a cleanly installed
Fedora 31 Workstation, I have

shim-x64-15-8.x86_64
shim-ia32-15-8.x86_64
grub2-pc-2.02-84.fc31.x86_64
grub2-efi-ia32-cdboot-2.02-84.fc31.x86_64
grub2-tools-extra-2.02-84.fc31.x86_64
grub2-tools-efi-2.02-84.fc31.x86_64
grub2-tools-minimal-2.02-84.fc31.x86_64
grub2-pc-modules-2.02-84.fc31.noarch
grub2-tools-2.02-84.fc31.x86_64
grub2-efi-x64-2.02-84.fc31.x86_64
grub2-common-2.02-84.fc31.noarch
grub2-efi-x64-cdboot-2.02-84.fc31.x86_64
grub2-efi-ia32-2.02-84.fc31.x86_64

If I remove:
shim-x64-15-8.x86_64
shim-ia32-15-8.x86_64
grub2-efi-x64-2.02-84.fc31.x86_64
grub2-efi-x64-cdboot-2.02-84.fc31.x86_64
grub2-efi-ia32-2.02-84.fc31.x86_64
grub2-efi-ia32-cdboot-2.02-84.fc31.x86_64

And then:
# dnf install grub2-efi shim

I get the following (edited for legibility)

Installing:
 grub2-efi-ia32
 shim-x64

That is obviously wrong, it could never work. On x86_64 the original
command should install 32-bit and 64-bit shim and GRUB EFI binaries.
