It is very useful to create a *scratch* buffer at startup, even if it is
not displayed immediately.
But there is no need to replace `initial-major-mode' with using your idea
that t of a new option means display a *scratch* buffer created in mode
specified by `initial-major-mode'.
The only problem remains I think that the name `initial-buffer-contents'
is worse than simply `initial-buffer'. It gives a false impression that
that some contents gets insterted into some fixed initial buffer.
Perhaps, a better name is `initial-display'? This has clear semantics:
display the startup screen initially, display a *scratch* buffer, display the
home directory...
