You might want to just remove

/usr/share/dracut/modules.d/50plymouth

though I haven't tried it.

Unless you rebuild the kernel to add -o plymouth to the mkinitrd line,
then removing the module directory above is the only way I can think
of accomplishing that.  The initrd is built after the kernel RPM is
installed, so if the module dir is gone it shouldn't get included.
