To add my 2¢:

All you need is build initram and pass it as a argument to pre configured kernel (with needed encryption and hash algorithms built in)

Initram scripts are on github here https://github.com/tokiclover/mkinitramfs-ll

Can I also use dracut? Or won't it setup initrd? I I didn't setup LVM just encryption, on top of it LUKS and then mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/envVol
