No it won't help if I understand how initlog/minilogd are working.

If they use /dev/log (and string shows /dev/log as available) then when
devfsd is started /dev/log has already been created. It is trivial to
prevent restoring it - just do ^log$ IGNORE - but I am not sure if it
really helps. The main problem being I still do not know how to reliably
reproduce it.
