I agree entirely and the complexity over systemd has been one of the major concerns.
I do like having a standardized way of managing processes. Systemd does make packaging deb/rpm files way easier, but I don't really like the price. Everything is abstracted to systemd. Mounts. udev. mult-users/logins (consolekit).
I like fstab with UUIDs. I like manually mounting a USB stick when I insert it. I like having the options of using an automounter or not using an automounter.
At home I stick to Gentoo and Void. runit is super simple and I like the concept behind it (although it does lack in some exceptions/logging issues).
I think ideally on my hosted solutions, the best thing going forward is a thin Alpine with Docker and running all services as docker containers.
I really wish the FreeBSD port of Docker was still maintained. I'd switch everything to FreeBSD+Docker if I could.

That sounds like a lot more trouble than it's worth, compared to CoreOS or Ubuntu Core. If everything is running in Docker, why does the "hypervisor's" use of systemd matter? It's not using it for anything.
