Yes, if your machine is up and running then you have recourse to "ten minutes of googling". If it won't boot because the initrd doesn't recognize the LVM setup and just falls over in a heap (rather than doing something helpful like, I don't know, displaying a list of volume groups and volumes and letting you choose which to mount as /) then everything becomes a lot more uncomfortable.

That's not really LVMs fault, but the fault of the init root your distro supplied. That early-boot stuff gets rewritten en-masse regularly and then shipped to you when it still has lots of undiscovered bugs probably means you're the running the regression-guinea-pig version of your favoured vendors' distro.
