I don't think the biggest complaints about systemd are the consolidation of tools into a core. Nobody complains about coreutils. It's about the consolidation of tools into a few monolithic binaries. And about the piroritization of desktop use cases over server use cases.

Could you go in to some detail here, what are the tools that have been turned in to monolithic binaries ?
The systemd project consists of some 70 different binaries, the vast majority of them being optional, and each of them handling specific tasks very much in the UNIX tradition.
They are being developed in the same tree, exactly like the BSD's, and just like the BSD equivalents they want to make use of features the kernel can provide even if that makes it less portable.

Even without that, systemd is still technically unsound in its design: http://blog.darknedgy.net/technology/2015/10/11/0/
