Well, I guess it depends on what meaning one wants to assign to the flag
-finit-real, which is anyway not something the standard specifies, right?

Do you really want to restrict the usage of -finit-real to programs where every
last variable is initializable?

I always use -finit-real as a kind of debug feature, with -finit-real=snan, to
check for the use of uninitialized values. I did never expect that it should
have a well defined, standard-mandated effect.
