Even if systemd prints nice diagnostic messages, they're useless if nobody is going to see them. And I doubt that many people know that pressing the Esc key makes plymouth go away. Would it be possible to print an informative message in Plymouth instead? Something like "Shutdown is taking longer than expected, please do not force off the computer". Other parts of the system already use Plymouth for communicating other things to the user (asking for LUKS decryption password, showing system upgrade process, etc.) so I think that would make sense. It would also be far more obvious than "you need to press the Esc key to see what's going on - but don't ask me why it is that way or how I know that" ...
