Looks normal.

Also, about the /boot/grub2/grubenv symlink to
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv - I'm only seeing this on clean installs
from Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30-1.2.iso so it might be related
to how the lives are assembled and rsync'd over. It doesn't happen
with a minimal or server installation on a BIOS VM.

At the moment, I think whatever problem there was has been cleared and
it's now behaving normally.

Nope, sorry, you're confused. I referred to GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT -
thinking maybe you had a customized /etc/default/grub. GRUB_DEFAULT
and GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT are two different things, but the latter depends
on the former.

I suggest keeping things as is, with saved_entry set in the grubenv.
And that's because GRUB and the grub-boot-success.service are able to
do an automatic fallback to the previous working kernel if boot fails
following a kernel upgrade.
