If you have got it working once, it should take less than 15 minutes (I've made myself a bashscript with the exact dracut commandline parameters needed for my system). But I have to agree with you, that exotic setups (I have encypted root on my laptop) are very bad documented. If dracut shall become standard for Gentoo (alternative: genkernel can build an initramfs) someone will have to write an exact howto with the most important (or better all) commandline arguments and kernel commandline parameters.
