> is dracut the right place to solve this?

Yes. dracut is the one that packs initramfs.

> is kmod a more appropriate place to fix this?

This is an already established way for a kernel module to declare the
need of firmware blobs with undetermined name. kmod reads these
information, and it cannot help determine whether a .zst or a .xz suffix
should be used.

> Are .xz and .zst the only possible extensions that dracut will have to
handle?

From the source code, yes, only xz and zst.
