The only reason GRUB 2 actually has loadable modules is that it is very difficult to load a big binary reliably with MBR booting. With UEFI that problem is gone and we can just load a monolithic GRUB. There is no reason left to keep using loadable modules with its error-prone selecting of which modules are needed at boot time to load the other modules.

Right, I have seen the 'grub rescue>' prompt on UEFI way too many times already. (GRUB still looks up GPT partitions by index, not UUID, but repartitioning tools - or at least parted - don't seem to maintain numbering in GPTs.)

gdisk (gptfdisk) maintains partition numbering. It's parted that likes to change it.
