Can you share your scripts and tools for creating an initramfs so
easily?  I too run into this problem -- I've always used the
kernel-provided mechanism to DHCP and do the nfs mount of the rootfs,
but if the initramfs is the right way to do that, then I'll be happy to
change.

It always looked rather daunting to me, and a lot of extra effort
compared to letting the kernel do the job, but if it really is so easy,
then I'll be happy to change my practices.

Thanks!
