And, at least in 12.3, you get an "/var/log/boot.msg" written by plymouth (I don't know if always or not)
Isn't plymouth something for graphical boot animation? Why I should need it to debug initrd?
Because it saves that log file you want? :-) Try, in "/etc/default/grub"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" resume=/dev/disk/by-label/Swap_2 splash=verbose showopts"
or
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" resume=/dev/disk/by-label/Swap showopts splash=verbose console=tty1 loglevel=3"
After which you have to regenerate grub - I forget the exact command to do so... ah, yes: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg with that you get a very verbose boot, similar to what we got with systemv - however, if you are booting to level 5, it will be erased, so you need to add a 3 in there, or change the sysmlink:
/etc/systemd/system/default.target -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/runlevel3.target
