Upgraded to baselayout-2 today and noticed that my encrypted swap needs literally minutes to be set up. After some debugging, I found out that cryptsetup is calling udevsettle and the latter one waits ages for /dev/.udev/queue to disappear. Will attach strace log here. This behaviour started when I upgraded my system last night to current ~amd64 state. This was not only baselayout-2 but some other things too. But no udev or cryptsetup, AFAICS.

Created attachment 151717 [details] cryptsetup.strace
Without reading any of your debugging info, all I can say is I used an encrypted swap on my box at the office using cryptsetup with a baselayout-2/openrc machine and it's fast as ever. I would include your configuration for it as well.
it needs to wait for udev to process its queue otherwise it may try to operate on devices that do not yet exist
I guess the patch from Bug #242778 will solve this issue.
i don't think this is relevant anymore. cryptsetup doesn't call udevsettle but instead interacts with the dm subsystem.
