As part of T78135: Provide a pxe-bootable rescue image and to make things simple we should be providing a choice menu via pxelinux (https://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Menu) to select actions besides "run d-i" at pxeboot time.
The first and default option is going to be d-i to leave current behavior unchanged for the time being.
Other options can include burning, wipe disks, etc

Hello @fgiunchedi, I'd need to boot an-coord1002 with d-i in rescue mode to execute grub-install on a raid-1 disk (that doesn't have it), is there a procedure for a one-off that I can use/test ?
No such procedure yet no, the easiest I'm aware of is check the host console and then boot d-i in rescue from there
