USB root has always needed an initramfs. On some boxes it might happen to
work most of the time because of other implicit delays. You were just
lucky in the past.
If you are so initramfs averse you could try hacking the kernel to try
remounting the root every few seconds for a bit if it fails rather than
giving up.
