I got quite the opposite impression to be honest. Yes it is messy as hell, since it is 100% undocumented and likely change from release to release, but with dracut I can debug to file with plymouth.debug. This was quite long time ago, so take my words with a grain of salt, but I'm 100% sure I got debug output to file with plymouth 0.9.0. You can also change the file location with plymouth.debug=file:<path>. It is all in src/main.c in case you need to work on it in the future for genkernel-next.
