I will try analyzing the dependencies and adding more modules to initramfs. I suspect that some modules that are automatically loaded as dependencies are missing in initramfs, and these dependencies can't be resolved automatically there since the modules are missing init the initrd.img.
Strange. I get a visible prompt with kernel 5.10.4, i.e. the display turns on before I have to enter the password.
I have MODULES=most in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and no modules specified in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. The modules as given by as400 are included in the initramfs (or baked in in the case of drm and drm_kms_helper). I also just removed dptx.bin from the initramfs, just to make sure that this does not influence the behaviour: display turns on and shows the password prompt for decrypting /.
Don't really know what other information could help you, let me know if you want a kernel config or a listing of initramfs content or any other information.
