> how do you unmount without being able to read the binary

We have enough RAM now that there's no reason (even on embedded devices!) to ever unload the initrd/initramfs. An OS should be able to be configured such that you can unmount your rootfs whenever you like, and just automatically be de-pivot-root'ed and end up back in your initramfs, where you can mount the rootfs again.
