More than rotated framebuffers, defaulting to simpledrm means Plymouth doesn't know the physical monitor dimensions. So it uses heuristics and that leads to the logo scale not matching the login screen which would be a regression of bug 2054769. Actually it already happens on some slow booting machines occasionally. But that too can be worked around with:

  plymouth.force-scale={1,2}

And no, checking for rotation sensors is not a good idea because it would give the wrong result for laptop/tablet convertibles that don't have rotated framebuffers.
