I too would like such a toolhmm, i have a booting USB stick of stable (before recent release so i'm actually one stable back now :) ). no issues at all booting from it and i don't recall installing GRUB to it. i use UEFI booting most of the time via refind so i don't bios boot often, but it does work.
I don't use UEFI, perhaps that is the difference.
Keep doing a legacy install it's the best bet, most all computers will do a legacy boot from the bios boot menu, even the new computers built for windows 10.
I've done this with many systems, having firmware and drivers installed is the only consideration I can think of and installing a usb wireless can help if needed when you get stuck. I have one that looks like a pin drive called 'proster' and seems to work on all kinds of computer systems.
Good luck.
