I found time to do some testing, and adding it to the config on a system=20 with no encryption at all causes an error message: error: device name required. this seems to be triggered by this line which grub-mkconfig adds to=20 grub.cfg: cryptomount -u this causes a "Press any key to continue" message. In practice the boot continues after about a 10 second delay without=20 pressing a key. I have confirmed this in VM and real h/w.
