This *might* be a portability problem, but probably not. It's listed in
POSIX:

But it appears we have no "grep" use of the "-x" option in-tree, at
least from what I found with grepping..
It is helpful to recommend a working alternative when pointing out
an issue like this.
Here, the '-x' option means to match the entire line.
Would using ^ and $ help here?
Yup, that would be quite reasonable and removes the need to use,
learn about, or have your readers wonder about the "-x" option; I do
not think I saw a grep that did not understand the option, though.
Thanks.
