On host, I used to boot directly as well.  Now, I do use grub2.  It 
works quite reliably -- on my OpenSUSE host (simply have not tried any 
OTHER host for a couple of years now).
That said, I *do* still 'mess' with the EFI params -- just in case 
grub/xen/etc temporarily loses its mind (again).
As for booting the guest 'directly' ... how are you modifying the 
TianoCore/ovmf EFI boot params?  Modifying your image with a hardcoded 
NvVars?  adding a startup.nsh?  other?
