ZFSBootMenu boots root dataset just fine but doesn't ask for password even though it's encrypted???
Upstream has been telling people not to use a central configuration file for 8 years so nobody should really be putting anything in there to begin with. One can make a reasonable argument that ZFSBootMenu ought to override the configuration file just like it overrides the configuration drop-in directory, but another can make a reasonable argument that people who really know what they want may wish to load common configuration options for both their system and ZBM images in /etc/dracut.conf.

Can't turn off the machine after install with full disk encryption
I absolutely have no idea... Seems like somehow something is not supported. You should create an issue in the dracut repo: https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/issues. That's something you should probably everywhere like I did in my issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/11ofqt2/booting_with_dinit. The void community can sometimes be really unhelpful so I hope you will get help there.

It's a shell script that sets up some basics and runs an event loop to run hooks that eventually lead to the availability of your root device.

Are cheap wireless keyboards from Lazada and Shopee compatible for Linux? (POV: I live in the Philippines and I have to do online shopping cuz of the pandemic)
Nope, all these environments are missing initial device configuration required for keyboard to be able to connect. (There was an attempt to add bluetooth support into dracut, that didn't go well)

Dracut kernel_cmdline not working with LVM on LUKS.
I get exactly this error. So it turns out, the decryption depends on a systemd unitsystemd-cryptsetup-generator, which will not read any embedded cmdline parameters, only ones passed in the commandline so when the commandline parameter is asking to decrypt things, it is not generated.
