Yes, mkinitcpio building is no longer a separate worker.
I refactored and simplified the code paths around the system
configuration a while ago.

As you can see in the base procedure, or in either of the example
profiles for the automatic procedure: the worker_configure_system
will call preconfigure_target and postconfigure_target (whose source
is in src/core/libs/lib-ui-interactive.sh), the latter calls, amongst
others, target_run_mkinitcpio

You should probably do like the example profiles and define something
like:

worker_configure_system () {
        preconfigure_target
        <your custom code here>
        postconfigure_target
}
