This makes 3 wrong assumptions in a row:
- / and /boot may be different.
Despite the variable being called LINUX_ROOT_FS, this is really the
output from grub-probe --device ${GRUB_DEVICE}. When / != /boot, is
$GRUB_DEVICE the device of / or /boot?

- Linux may be in a non-root subvolume. Then the subvolid points to
wrong one.
By "Linux", you're talking about the kernel, as opposed to the root
filesystem, correct?

What do you mean by "non-root subvolume"? That sounds like a btrfs term,
not a ZFS term, so I don't follow.

- / may be unaccessible to GRUB altogether.
Are you talking about at grub-install time or boot time? Can you provide
an example of when this might happen, so I can understand.

In short: this command line part has to be generated on grub-mkconfig
time and have a stable representation. I'd recommend UUID and subvolume
name.
By "this command line part", are you talking about the path to the
kernel?
