However, ipconfig exits after configuring the interface, and no DHCP client remains running to renew the lease.

I can see that there is a problem here, but I think that solving this would be a fairly big change. Since initramfs-tools is in maintenance mode and most effort is going into dracut now, I don't plan to work on this.
