I haven't used any of the grub shims since UEFI support was implemented. Here is a basic config of mine for Ubuntu 20.04 (hostbridge probably doesn't need to be there):

loader="uefi"
graphics="yes"
hostbridge="amd"
cpu=2
memory=2G
disk0_type="nvme"
disk0_name="disk0"
disk0_dev="sparse-zvol"
graphics_port="5900"
graphics_res="1024x768"
xhci_mouse="yes"
utctime="yes"
virt_random="yes"
