I'll give you my confs in my LVM2 virtual machine; my normal machines
don't use LVM2, so I don't think they'll help in any way.
Also, if my normal machines are lagging on updates, the virtual ones
are even more behind: my LVM vm has systemd 204!
I'm removing any comments:
/etc/default/grub.conf:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Gentoo"
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd quiet nosplash"
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="lvm mdraid1x"
Notice: no root, no real_root, nothing.
/etc/dracut.conf:
add_dracutmodules+="crypt lvm mdraid systemd"
add_drivers+="autofs4 ipv6 dm-crypt aes sha256"
fscks="umount mount /sbin/fsck* e2fsck"
/etc/fstab:

/etc/crypttab:

I didn't touched /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, nor /etc/mdadm.conf.

Do you want to see any other config?
Let me try to update this test VM to see if I can hit the same issue as you.
