I build embedded systems and appliances; it sounds like you might have to deal with this a lot less frequently than I do. I don't have to deal with it as frequently in the age of systemd though, because more projects are providing unit files now that it's everywhere, and it's a lot easier to glance at a systemd unit someone else wrote and decide if it's correct than it is to audit a random shell script and figure out what needs to be added or changed to get it to work correctly in your distro of choice.

When I did work on an embedded system (enterprise storage system) different groups worked on different services (and some used hair-rising shell scripts to start their service), but our team's service was started via xinetd and we didn't spend all that much time on that aspect.
