Have you tried editing the command line at the bootloader?

While dracut prints a recomendation to use rd.iscsi.firmware, the older iscsi_firmware option should still be recognised and treated the same for compatibility reasons (and that's what anaconda is setting up at install)

I doubt it makes a difference

Yes. After editing the command line to use rd.iscsi.firmware, the OS boot continues.
With iscsi_firmware OS boot does not proceed and gives the deprecate warning.
