I'm very dubious about this being release-critical.

Correct, systemd doesn't use inittab.

I don't think it's likely that systemd will support inittab. The
semantics of inittab are quite a bit inferior to what's available with
very little additional work using the native configuration format, and the
regular inittab jobs are provided by regularly-configured services. Yes,
that is a disruptive change for people who were using inittab to run other
things.
