Well, do your due dilligence.  On my primary Sid system,

sysvinit-core: /sbin/init

This only needs to be checked after maintenance involving
certain packages.

So you see 'init=/sbin/init' is shorter and safe.

Shorter, but incorrect and unsafe. On Debian jessie and later (and thus, by extension, the current state of Debian sid), /sbin/init means "the currently installed default init system". As such, it is not the correct way to set up a fallback configuration intended to unconditionally use sysvinit.
