But that just switches the mode to one that supports virtual interfaces, I still need to add the virtual interface, and I can't do that in a modprobe conf. >To be fair such race condition could have happened in any init system.

You live and you learn, on its own something like that isn't a huge problem. >Perhaps having a dependency to start your service before network-manager would have solved this.

There are a lot of ways I probably could have made this work, but at the end of the day I'm still writing shell scripts and not using very many of systemd's "helpful" features.
