I agree that's something worth considering, but I'd say it's a separate story. The vt.handoff patches are not only needed for the d-i netboot install of server case, but in overall for the splash boot experience being smooth. Without vt.handoff all desktops will regress in how the splash screen looks like, with a black screen flashing before plymouth starts, text messages (even with quiet) appearing on screen.
So I'd opt for filling in a separate bug for the vt.handoff deprecation and move any discussion there. Or maybe there is a bug already where this has been discussed? Since I heard that vt.handoff removal already had some discussion, so I'd certainly like to see what was planned.
