Then booting with qemu-system-s390x (tried both distro's 4.2.1 and locally built 8.0.3) and the initrd you provided (tried passing it compressed and uncompressed), but I'm always getting a kernel panic due to not finding a rootfs:

Yes, this matches.

Ahh, I think this was the problem, after downloading this, the kernel is taking
much longer to compile and eventually giving me an assembler error:

arch/s390/kernel/mcount.S: Assembler messages:
arch/s390/kernel/mcount.S:140: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `aghik'
make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:360: arch/s390/kernel/mcount.o] Error 1
make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:480: arch/s390/kernel] Error 2
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:480: arch/s390] Error 2

make[1]: *** [/data_nvme0n1/ryarob01/granule_perf/linux/Makefile:2035: .] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:234: __sub-make] Error 2

The assembler that comes with the kernel.org toolchain is from binutils 2.40.
Perhaps that's too old for this instruction? It's inside an "#ifdef
CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER" block, so I'm guessing whatever config I was
previously using didn't have that enabled. I'll try to disable some configs to
workaround. What assembler are you using?
