We're in the same boat. We have a post-script that was originally a bunch of bash and evolved into python to clean up the EFI boot order via efibootmgr.  We do things like set the order to UEFI IPv6 -> UEFI IPv4 -> OS to guarantee we hit the network first, and also eliminate duplicate entries from a stupid vendor EFI implementation.

I hadn't thought about this but this could be a useful pull request to put up to make this bit optional.
