Yep, this is a bad idea. I guess it's because multipath-tools-boot depends
on initramfs-tools instead of linux-initramfs-tool.
I think I will file a bug on this.

I will be a replacement for initramfs-tools, but I'm not sure if there
are some multipath hooks for initramfs which needs to be adapted to dracut.
