Yes, the basic concerns still remain:

     1. You're forcing autoload now even if the user isn't running
        dm ... this is going to cause problems with non-dm based path
        handlers
     2. autoloading in this fashion is essentially trying to work around
        a problem in the initrd tools.  The kernel isn't the right place
        to implement the fix.

The risks of this approach seem very high, and the rewards pretty small.
