If I understand your distinction correctly, then the overwhelming majority
of them are the former.
The one that led to this discussion (626007) doesn't seem to be.
The "/usr/sbin/foo is needed before FSes are mounted" is a fairly
trivial problem to solve in the majority of cases; I don't see that as a
big deal.
If separate /usr isn't considered a valid configuration, why do we have
separate /bin, /sbin, /lib{,64}?

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
