Funny how nobody can answer this question!

  You already answered the question and acted like it wasn't an answer: "Aside from the, uh, binaries that run systemd, systemd services, and systemd utilities," - yeah, those binary blobs (inherently unstable blobs of logic). http://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/linux-systemd/ http://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/linux-systemd/

    There isn't anything "inherently unstable" about them! The only true competitor to systemd is s6, and you should see the amount of "binary" he has had to develop to get his service manager to run outside of PID 1! However... it's all a moot point, because that isn't the definition of a "binary blob". In the context of Linux, or "free and open-source software, a binary blob is a closed-source binary-only piece of software without publicly available source code."
