meaning with the current implementation, we won't have a way to do flushBeforeStage2 = false

oddlama: Can you try this in your config and see if it fixes your issue?

boot.initrd.network.flushBeforeStage2 = false;
boot.initrd.systemd = {
  services.systemd-networkd = {
    before = ["initrd-switch-root.target"];
    conflicts = ["initrd-switch-root.target"];
  };
  sockets.systemd-networkd = {
    before = ["initrd-switch-root.target"];
    conflicts = ["initrd-switch-root.target"];
  };
};
