Indeed. I have systems here that boot normally, systems here that need to
mount LVM, systems that mount LVM-atop-RAID, one bizarre system that has a root filesystem on RAID-atop-LVM (!), a couple of systems whose RAID arrays are assembled over the network block device, and one that never actually mounts a root filesystem atop the rootfs but does all its work from there.
Booting can be arbitrarily complicated: it must, no matter what, remain

You'll never be able to make a single initramfs image that works for everything, but I don't see any reason that a single initramfs project couldn't have a per-kernel build process that would take a set of instructions on mounting the root filesystem as part of its configuration and generate an initramfs image that does it.
