Mounting /usr needs to go to the initramfs. It is possible to implement a mount handler for this. At this stage, the by-label symlinks exist already.
AFAIU udevd(8) is responsible for setting up those symlinks. How can they exist _before_ udevd(8) is started?
I'll let you go back and read everything again, what you are saying makes no sense whatsoever, and I have no idea how to reply to it.
Lucky you, I have a way to explain it: There are udev rules referencing stuff in /usr. If people mount /usr by-label or by-uuid, udev must have completed to setup those symlinks. Catch-22.
If you want to understand this I suggest you look at the udev hook in initramfs. There is no problem. -t
