I'm also running TW on SATA SSD and had no issue on cold booting back
into it after upgrading to 6.2.9.1-default on '12 Mac Pro . . .
booting from grub, essentially box stock boot params, but just one
user of it.

I would concur with Mr Miata's comment about "slowness" of booting,
compared today to my Sid install, which was very quick; TW seems to
take its time when waking up from a nights slumber, checking over the
to-do list before getting to it, etc.

to make it absolutely clear, *my* boot issues were caused by boot
parameters passed via /etc/default/grub resp. /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg. I
had

mitigations=auto spectre_v2=retpoline retbleed=stuff

included in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT initializer.

Removing "spectre_v2=retpoline retbleed=stuff" made the boot error go
away, and it did not have anything to do with NVME stuff - was just my
first thought...

Cheers.
