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.
