Follow-up Comment #3, bug #56897 (project grub):

This bug is about to become a much bigger problem. As of e2fsprogs 1.47.0,
metadata_csum_seed is enabled by default.

You can see release notes here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git/tree/doc/RelNotes/v1.47.0.txt

So default arguments mkfs.ext4 is now no longer compatible with GRUB ext4
detection.

Gentoo has backported this patch:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/patch/?id=7fd5feff97c4b1f446f8fcf6d37aca0c64e7c763

As far as I can tell, that patch has not yet made it into a released GRUB
version.
