Looking slowly though the boot messages I saw:

Offline system update overridden by runlevel "5" on the kernel command line
This is not an option in my /etc/default/grub. I used it once from
the grub boot menu and it seems that it remembered it for many
months and updates!
I doubt that. You perhaps used grubby to set this 5 runlevel, and
grubby failed to update /etc/default/grub as it does now, not sure if
it did that update in the past.
IIRC grub2-mkconfig as well as grubby updates now:
/etc/default/grub
/etc/kernel/cmdline
/boot/loader/entries/*
A real nightmare :-(
I personally prefer to edit /etc/default/grub and call grub2-mkconfig
instead of using grubby.
You can then use a version control system like git to keep track of
the changes in /etc/default/grub.
Don't know what grubby is, but I remember what happened.
One day I needed to boot single user so added 'single' to grub command using
'e' on the menu entry.
Then every later boot went to single user without any error. I used 'e' to
remove the 'single' but
it still booted single. So I added '5' and all was well. This was a few months
ago.
This time it got me unaware (I forgot) so I edited the entry to remove the '5'.
All is well since then.
