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.
