I tried it and it works, although on the raspberry pi one also needs to
do something like this, or the overlay module doesn't end up in the
rootfs:
echo "filesystems+=overlay" > /etc/dracut.conf.d/overlay.conf
However, at boot I do quickly get this warning line:
dracut-pre-pivot: mount: /sysroot: mount point not mounted or bad option.
which can later also be seen in systemctl status:
$ systemctl status dracut-pre-pivot.service

It seems innocuous so far, but I couldn't track down what gives the
error, and I would at some point like to be able to suppress the noise.
I realise none of this is on topic with this issue, and I'm not sure
it's worth to open a new issue for this.
