I think the biggest issue of SystemD was not only the controversial development process, but the dependencies of other projects like udev into SystemD's repo and packaging.

With sysv, it was relatively easy to slot in a different init as the admin wanted. A distro i have used for some time, Gobolinux, may use the sysv init binary for example. But it forgoes the usual sysv layout for one more akin to just a rc.local. But with systemd it is systemd, and only systemd, because systemd is so "invasive". And the real worry is when third party developers assume systemd as the default and make it hard, or resist, supporting alternatives.
