Me too. So why not use lsinitramfs -l ? Why keep reinventing the wheel?

No dracut needed.
Did you not make a post that lsinitrd.sh and lsinitramfs produced
different output?
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/08/msg00057.html
They seem to produce the same output on my machine. So, yes,
lsinitramfs(8) is preferable:
$ lsinitramfs -l /boot/initrd.img-4.19.0-17-amd64 | sort -k 9 >
initrd.img-4.19.0-17-amd64.lsinitramfs
$ diff -s initrd.img-4.19.0-17-amd64.txt
initrd.img-4.19.0-17-amd64.lsinitramfs
Files initrd.img-4.19.0-17-amd64.txt and
initrd.img-4.19.0-17-amd64.lsinitramfs are identical
