I'm a bit confused by those logs. They show that sda5 have been mounted.

Dec 17 15:44:29 localhost.localdomain kernel: EXT4-fs (sda5): mounting
ext3 file system using the ext4 subsystem
Dec 17 15:44:29 localhost.localdomain kernel: EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted
filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)

I figure /dev/sda5 is your /usr partition? Just to be sure, please
attach ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/

If so, I'm honestly puzzled why later on the binaries from /usr/bin are
not found.

Could you do another try and add "debug" to the kernel command line.
Then attach /run/initramfs/initramfs.debug and journalctl -alb (and
avoid mounting /usr manually on tty9)

Do you have any custom udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d?
