Probe at runtime instead of buildtime - Include all drivers, not just
the drivers necessary for the hardware being run. (For storage, the
common ones will be built-in to the kernel anyway)

This means include all storage drivers and firmware for the storage drivers?

Does this also mean we only add network drivers if the initrd is explicitly built for netboot?

How do we plan on dealing with the location of various standard utilities being different on other Linux distributions?

Fedora          Debian
/sbin/lspci     /usr/bin/lspci
/sbin/lsmod     /bin/lsmod
(just off the top of my head)

Perhaps use "which" to find it? But then how do we choose its destination path in the initrd chroot if the distributions disagree on where they expect a command to go? Will they disagree?
