On cold boot the wifi card is present on snp/nii and ipxe crash during device initialization. I discovered that grub didn't have this issue. I tried to understand why: on a cold boot grub has 2 interfaces efinet0 and efinet1, efinet0 failed but efinet1 is good it's the ethernet port. So I did debug deeper with iPXE to fix this issue.
iPXE is usable on Mac Mini 2018 with snp.efi(ipxe.efi with tg3 card failed) boot on usb key or nvme drive. I didn't found yet the correct DHCP setting to boot iPXE directly over network.
But now it's working fine.
Screenshot just before crash and reboot:
