It wouldn't be using dracut.

I would expect a system to normally boot unless there were multiple disks
and the order changed messing up grub. Passed that disks get named by
UUIDs and a lot of hardware detection is done during the boot and things
that are likely to be different aren't likely to be needed in the initial
boot steps.

dracut is supposed to have more drivers built in and should be able to handle
even more hardware changes (within the same architecture).
