If the legacy d-i netboot images are not going to be published/supported 
20.04.1 onwards, do we have an equivalent replacement that's able to perform 
the same function?

The mini.iso allows me to boot my 384 Mb ram VPS without a cd-rom drive
into the installation environment by just loading the kernel/initrd from
grub and complete a minimal setup by downloading only the necessary
components from the internet. It also allows me to keep my existing disk
layout (LVM volumes hosted in an encrypted luks partition) and install
over it.

Are we expecting the new netboot/subiquity setup to be able to do this
by the 20.04.1 release? Or are we just going to drop the legacy
installer that works well to address these use cases in favor of
something that must download and load a 1 Gb ISO image in RAM to work?
What about the ability to install over existing LVM volumes within an
encrypted partition? Is that planned to be incorporated before d-i is
dropped completely?
