Not really. It needs to be there to satisfy the kernel deps on mkinitrd

I will start testing this out sometime this week.

But thinking more on it:
I think the proper way to fix the upgrade is to switch kernel requires 
to dracut instead of mkinitrd (as it will be done for Mga 3 anyway).

That way we get dracut installed without removing mkinitrd, and
alternatives would make us use dracut by default (but keeping the
"failsafe").

and when we start Mga3 development we let dracut obsolete mkinitrd/nash
and remove it completely.

Fixed in systemd-38-4.mga2

And dracut-014-15.mga2 has higher mkinitrd provides than real mkinitrd

True.
