Hmpf, I really don't like creating "fake" units like this that fork of
/bin/true like this.

I am still convinced that always doing the fsck for the root fs in
systemd-fsck-root.service is the right way to go, even if the this
means more parallelization than strictly necessary for a few setups in
the initrd.
