There is nothing wrong with this.

No, it's not like we need to make the boot slower by adding more
serialization points. The correct solution is to modify cryptsetup to
install RUN rules and react to the appropriate events.
e.g. (I do not know it this is correct for this specific case):

SUBSYSTEM="block", ID_FS_TYPE="crypto_LUKS", RUN+="..."

The boot process must be event-driven.
