Who completely replaced the zfs-initramfs script?

Was there a particular reason for this massive change, and was it
discussed anywhere?

This change has caused many regressions, of varying importance.

I realize I don't "own" this code, but as someone who is very involved
in root-on-ZFS installs in Ubuntu, I'm quite annoyed that nobody asked
me if this was a good idea or mentioned it was happening so I might
review it and offer some feedback.

Aside from the issue that Sam Van den Eynde is having [0], this also
reverted a number of changes I made, including but not limited to: the
support I added for rootdelay= and the code to set elevator=noop [1].
