Press Esc when GRUB2 gray screen appear is reliable way to get into
menu, I just tested this on three devices around half-hundred times in
total. Somehow it works with version 2.02+dfsg1-5ubuntu8 and no longer
works with 2.02+dfsg1-5ubuntu8.2. Why is that?

If I read systemd-analyze report right, version 2.02+dfsg1-5ubuntu8 wait three seconds for user input, even if grub config contain:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=0
Meanwhile 2.02+dfsg1-5ubuntu8.2 doesn't wait for user input and indeed
behave like you described - where this difference between
2.02+dfsg1-5ubuntu8 and 2.02+dfsg1-5ubuntu8.2 came from?

In my case menu starting to always appear on various devices from
small tablets to workstations. First time it happened with laptop
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/736743/comments/95
and since then more devices became affected. I not 100% sure, but
seems like at least one unsuccessfully boot is required to reproduce
this issue, but maybe I am mistake here and issue starting to happen
for all Btrfs users.
