In the past, there were weird bugs:
1) When using break=y, or when mounting root failed, the USB keyboard
support might not be loaded, as the uevent could not finish.
2) switch_root might have failed to delete the rootfs contents, as udev
processes would still access /dev/.udev.

Those are old - we reordered and improved all of that stuff, so this
problem should be gone by now. Even right now, settling might be
unnecessary.
