Build Initramfs Rootless
I'm very new to BSD in general, but I find it very fun and interesting!
However, I need pointers to get started.
> You won't be spoon-fed, and are expected to have read the manuals and other documentations...
I read a lot of FreeBSD and NetBSD documentation to get to the point of compiling my own kernels, but I don't think I ever read about the equivalent concept of Linux cpio/initramfs for BSD. My minimal images use a UFS filesystem.
Here, after checking https://mfsbsd.vx.sk/ and https://github.com/mmatuska/mfsbsd/blob/master/scripts/mdini... I think mfsbsd is just a using tmpfs so it may not exactly the same thing as initramfs, that allows booting linux from a bzImage + initrd
I'll keep searching, it's not super high priority at the moment, but it's something I'd like to do with (Free|Net)BSD.

Does anyone still use digitalocean for freebsd vms
I suspect it depends on how much support and/or hand-holding you need from your hosting provider. I'd hesitate to run an unofficial build/image but I believe the alternative on DO is to use mfsbsd (a memory-file-system installer for FreeBSD) which is also an unofficial build/image.

Is there a way to load the FreeBSD installer to RAM?
The common answer here is to use mfsbsd which puts all the installer's requirements onto a RAM disk so you should (in theory) be able to pull the install media and plug in other devices as needed

FreeBSD SSH Hardening
I looked into this for a project a couple of years ago and ended up using mfsbsd instead.

Is there a way to load the FreeBSD installer to RAM?
GhostBSD loads a live system to RAM for the install. It uses some form of pc-sysinstall from trueos and a graphical frontend called gbi. The installer requires 4 GB of RAM.
What are some alternatives?
yubikey-agent - yubikey-agent is a seamless ssh-agent for YubiKeys.
dedupfs - A Python FUSE file system that features transparent deduplication and compression which make it ideal for archiving backups.
ssh-audit - SSH server & client security auditing (banner, key exchange, encryption, mac, compression, compatibility, security, etc)
tinyssh - TinySSH is small server (less than 100000 words of code)
occambsd - An application of Occam's razor to FreeBSD
