I don't think so. I just tried made typo. Instead of running: grub-install /dev/nvme0n1 I did: grub-install /dev/nvme0n1p2 It install without any errors. I've not done any installation for some time, a lot had changed. It is a good practice as next PC will be a production PC; so I know to stay away from "vfat" in boot partition.
