rd.blacklist is actually not processed by anything. The correct option is called rd.driver.blacklist, see
https://man.archlinux.org/man/dracut.8.en

Hovewer, we can actually safely remove it altogether, because we also blacklist nouveau in a /etc/modprobe.d drop-in config. This is actually the recommended way, see
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278

Thus, this commit removes the redundant, and actually bogus argument.

FTR, this page mentions rd.blacklist, not as a recommendation, but in passing as an alternative. I don't know where else this is documented.
