I think /etc or /boot is the right place and IIRC pjd had a reason why

It's worth remembering that in the normal course of operation,
/etc/hostid is written once per system lifetime. Making diskless users
set it up by hand or as a symlink to somewhere writable seems harmless
to me.
That sounds reasonable.
