advice is to keep it simple. I prefer syslinux to grub2 because I think
that grub2 has become too bloated, and if you are using the ext series of
file systems (including btrfs) then I see no reason to use grub2. And,
yes, you can use syslinux with gpt and no initrd. If you want to use grub2
then Bruce has already told you how to do it.
One point I would make is to ensure that you are using the correct GPT
GUID; it's the second one that appears in the table displayed by querying
with "i", the one that's labelled "unique".
BTW your rootdelay of "20" seems far too long; I've managed to reduce mine
to "1" as you can see from my extlinux.conf file.
