osuosl is the same host busybox is using (not a question, a statement)

from a PoV of the kernel it matters the /init timestamp

from a PoV of the kernel what precedes t=0 is unknown / uncertain

from a PoV of the real-world observer what precede kernel t=0 matters
and /init timestamp depends by the hardware and the kernel
version/config

IMHO, the minimum boot time is a question as well-defined as: what
"boot" means and where?
