Well, I meanwhile did this for our G05 packages. Even though for different
reason: to enable Wayland support. I guess here it's needed for the KMS support
of plymouth.

Actually I did the contrary a long time ago.

- added /etc/dracut.conf.d/60-nvidia-default.conf in order to
  omit nvidia modules in initrd, which apparently were added
  automatically on many systems - apart from nvidia-uvm module! -
  which then made GPU computing/CUDA impossible on all theses
  systems (boo#1173733)

Readding them to initrd may work as well or may lead (again) to different
issues, which turn out to be more serious than a splash screen,
which you nowadays with SSDs in place see for about 2 seconds.
