The firmware loader doesn't have a problem with symlinks.

I can't reproduce the problem here (using a Radeon RX550 card).

Whether you install an official Debian kernel package or a custom
package built with make deb-pkg, initramfs-tools (by default) builds
the initramfs for it. And it makes /usr/lib a symlink now.

This change is mentioned in the initramfs-tools changelog:
* [71f5d61] mkinitramfs: Create usr-merged filesystem layout
(Closes: #874523)
and you can read that bug report yourself.
