Uh? You put the kernel on a different machine by... copying one file (and copying the modules tree if need be). How is that hard?

plus the system specific initramfs config (raid config, etc)....

If you need that sort of system-specific config baked into the initramfs, you are doing something wrong. Both mdadm and LVM can scan for things to mount: you should be relying on that, and using config files at most as defaults overrideable on the kernel command line. (A few lines of shell while loop to parse the command line and bingo.)
