This bug is about to become a much bigger problem. As of e2fsprogs 1.47.0, metadata_csum_seed is enabled by default.
You can see release notes here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git/tree/doc/RelNotes/v1.47.0.txt
So default arguments mkfs.ext4 is now no longer compatible with GRUB ext4 detection.
Gentoo has backported this patch: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/patch/?id=7fd5feff97c4b1f446f8fcf6d37aca0c64e7c763
As far as I can tell, that patch has not yet made it into a released GRUB version.
