This seems to be the only issue I'm seeing so far. However, as I'm not
able to fully boot the system, I'm not able to be certain that there
might be other fallouts once the system is running.

No, that would be definitely off. I hadn't had the machine up and running
for 15 minutes. This issue showed right after boot.

This is using an initramfs.

OK.

It's difficult, to be honest. The problem is that the above message spams the whole
kernel buffer to the point that the buffer of the built-in serial console is filled
up. So I'm not sure if I've seen this message.

I'll give it a try and report back.
