I can generally rely on FreeBSD to actually boot up properly, after doing a major upgrade. I can't say the same thing for Ubuntu. I've lost track of the number of "oddities" that have occurred. Examples: network interfaces getting renamed, missing default routes, UEFI boot weirdness that can only be resolved from the console. Maybe I just have bad luck.

Systemd is in control of all of those issues (network devices, routes, mounts, etc). Unfortunately, almost all Linux distributions are really just different distributions of systemd now.. most likely the lines of code in systemd components far outweigh the package management components which are the clearest differentiator between one distribution and another. (definitionally, a distribution distributes packages.)
