You can't do auto generation if that generation depends on the output of some units. Generators can not solve that problem.
>Units are just supposed to start a command and little else.
What a bizarre thing to say. No, that is not just what units are for. I think you are severely misinformed about what systemd is. Units are supposed to take care of ordering accept IPC, define how to handle failures and manage devices.
That comment alone makes me believe that you just do not know what you are talking about at all. It completely misses why systemd is designed the way it is and what it tries to accomplish.

No, that is not just what units are for. I think you are severely misinformed about what systemd is. Units are supposed to take care of ordering accept IPC, define how to handle failures and manage devices. I mean that part of the point of systemd is that units mostly work out to ExecStart=/usr/bin/binary, and an unit isn't supposed to contain the arbitrary jank one can put into a SysV script. IPC and the like is an explicit systemd feature, not something you improvise behind the scenes and then expect to work anyway.
