I took a crack at patching this. Works without complaints for cryptroot-unlock as shipped with Ubuntu 18.04 Server.

Apply with:
$ cd /usr/share/cryptsetup/initramfs/bin/
$ sudo patch -bp1 < /path/to/cryptroot-unlock-neutered-busybox-progs.patch
$ sudo update-initramfs -uk all

Problems were:
1) Busybox `ps` takes no (useful) args.
2) Busybox `grep` does not accept -z (NULL terminated line handling).
3) Busybox has no `usleep`, it DOES have a `sleep` that accepts fractional seconds.
