Did you not make a post that lsinitrd.sh and lsinitramfs produced 
different output?

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/08/msg00057.html


They seem to produce the same output on my machine.  So, yes, 
lsinitramfs(8) is preferable:

$ lsinitramfs -l /boot/initrd.img-4.19.0-17-amd64 | sort -k 9 > 
initrd.img-4.19.0-17-amd64.lsinitramfs

$ diff -s initrd.img-4.19.0-17-amd64.txt 
initrd.img-4.19.0-17-amd64.lsinitramfs
Files initrd.img-4.19.0-17-amd64.txt and 
initrd.img-4.19.0-17-amd64.lsinitramfs are identical
