What about /etc/grub.d/40_custom file. This is official place to put your stuff that you want to boot. After changing the file just run

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

I use it all the times with Gentoo. But Ubuntu can do it too. So I still compile my own kernels and extend the 40_custom file, similar to grub1 or lilo in the ancient times. Not much changed :-)

Even simpler

I just have /boot/kernel-stable, /boot/kernel-linus and /boot/kernel-ajb and take care not to update all of them at once. I believe I also have the Gentoo default installed kernel just in case I hose all of my custom kernels but I've never needed to go that far.
