I'm sorry, but what you've said above is completely incorrect.

Your root filesystem is mounted by the initramfs, a kernel-loaded RAM
disk that runs before what we normally consider "user space".  Thus when
userspace starts, / is mounted and readable, whether or not it is
encrypted.

The only userspace consideration is whether /usr, /var, etc. are on
separate filesystems and whether they too are encrypted.

S10udev is *ON* the root partition, so the root partition *MUST* be
already mounted if that is run :-)

S10udev is very careful to only use binaries, libraries, modules and
firmware from the root filesystem (it's Ubuntu policy that such things
must not be under /usr or /var) so it does not need any extra
filesystems.

So I'm afraid your assertion is incorrect, and you should absolutely not
need any modules in the initramfs.

udev needs to load before "Loading essential drivers" so firmware_helper will 
work
