Its really grub vs systemd-boot in this case. systemd-boot is just a bootloader, and it can be used without systemd.

Thanks,

EFI variables should work?
After doing some googling it looks promising. I just couldn't find any info how 
to
actually do it. Also I don't know how big chunk of code is needed to access 
them from
grub.  Linux seems to have filesystem for that.

There is a basic implementation available to set the next boot target (for 
systemd-boot which recognizes that specific variable) from kernel here:

Thanks, I'll take a look and take a look also systemd-boot - code to
see how big of a task it's actually access that variable from boot
loader. Of course it'd be so much easier in this case if system would
be using systemd instead sysvinit.
