Huh? I was just answering regarding your 'ok for virtio_blk and
virtio_net' and your statement that virtio_blk would be already
included in the initrd (which isn't the case when using
MODULES=netboot).

Bcc-ing Daniel Weuthen who has an according setup to test.
Daniel, can you please verify whether adding just virtio_net
to the initrd is enough for your usecase?
