Actually, not that scary. I think I can implement a complete solution as a single kernel patch. Just extend fbcon's deferred takeover feature to wait until a certain timeout has passed. And if "splash" is present then you can assume that should be a default of 10 seconds to wait for Plymouth's 8 second device timeout.
