Tell me about it. OSS always worked fine for me. So did JACK.

As I said, this wholly depends on your use case. If you're running a notebook, I totally see the benefit. However, I have mainly servers and a few workstations to maintain. These are not booted for days, weeks or even months, and they hardly ever change their network settings. If they boot, hardware detection alone might take minutes, so I absolutely don't care about saving a few seconds afterwards during boot.
On the other hand, from day one I had a hard time making systemd *not* causing race conditions and actually wait for things that are required during boot on these machines, especially network connections and remote mounts.

 DK> but systemd was not that a big deal.

Your mileage may vary.
