It still requires I place a sleep 1 before the boot statement for it to boot on hardware. I am testing on a Dell PowerEdge R710, specifically. I'm using bin-x86_64-efi/snponly.efi

Swapping the order of initrd and kernel did fix the issue with CentOS.

Glad that worked for you.

If you use a different protocol, like http:// or nfs:// do you still need the sleep statement? It would be interesting to see the FTP server's logs as well (with and without the sleep statement).
