The "-o udev" directive tells blkid to format its output in a way that udev
can import it with an IMPORT{} directive in a rule. It should work
regardless of whether or not udev is installed.

I'm not familiar with the live-boot scripts, but in preparing initramfs
boot scripts for testing vdev, the only changes I've had to make are
starting vdev in place of udev, and mounting vanilla tmpfs on /dev instead
of devtmpfs. I'd imagine that it will be similar with live-boot scripts,
but I'll have to take a closer look. I'm happy to work with you and others
on ensuring that you can use vdev in place of udev wherever possible :)

My pleasure!
