 I tried that with minimal adjustments to match the current settings (namely, changed version numbers), however the system complains about not being able to find the /dev/mapper/vg_dom0-lv_root. Any tips as to how I can fix that?

Check if:
 - you didn't removed/changed "rd_LVM_LV=vg_dom0/lv_root" option
 - initramfs is really loaded (typos in path, right version etc).

Do you get prompt for the LUKS password?

rd_LVM_LV is correct and it doesn't give me any errors about not finding anything. It even gets as far as showing me the Qubes loading screen.

Yes, I do get asked for the LUKS password, however simultaneously it says "/dev/mapper/vg_dom0-lv_root does not exist" and get dropped to the emergency console.

Strange... can you give some details (screenshot or so)? Perhaps some other
message will suggest the source of the problem.

For now, here are configs and everything to verify I use the right ones (I hope):

parted: print of all disks
All UUIDs
GRUB2's 40_custom
ls -lah of Qubes' boot partition

I will attach the journalctl as soon as I manage to upload it.

Here we have it, photos. It's the best I could get.
GRUB menu -> Qubes startup splashscreen -> drop to errorconsole -> journalctl -xn -> journalctl with all errors

Qube startup process

From the last photo it looks like password prompt simply timed out after 90s.

Looks like it, yes, but it doesn't drop me to the console. What does is the missing device. However, I can't recall having to enter a single password anywhere during the Qubes installation. I only edited the partition table, nothing else.

By default Qubes installer uses encrypted device, on which LVM is created. And
indeed you have some encrypted device, so you've set some password...
