Do you still want to add few examples in the Early Init File node?
Something that says along the lines of:

"Variables that need to be set before calling package-initialize, like
package-user-dir, package-enable-at-startup should now be customized inside
this Early Init file. Variables that can be set post package-initialize,
like package-archives can be set in default Emacs Init file."
