How does this work in system with more than one Linux install? Or any more-complicated disk setup (e.g. SW RAID)? Does this also lock users out from ALL kernel command-line options?
Using UKIs is optional, if they don't work for your use case just continue using traditional kernels. Our main focus is virtualization use cases and cloud images, where you usually have a simple disk setup.
Independent from that work is being done (mostly in systemd) to allow configure the command line for UKIs in a secure way. New in systemd v254 are addon images which can extend the command line. See "man systemd-stub" for details.
