It's a reasonable counterpoint, but limited to the part of systemd that manages starting and stopping services.
It also takes over virtual terminals, syslog services, login management, network interface configuration, dhcp, system time, udev device management, containers (machined, dbus, cgroups).
That, to me, is where more of the concern lies.

Indeed, trying to get a full understanding of systemd is not easy, it's so large. It's like trying to understand a large piece of corporate software.

Also, the point of switching and studying is not clear. If all you need is service startup and keeping up, a few more polished tools exist with a dramatically ssmaller footprint.

"a few more polished tools exist with a dramatically smaller footprint."
Which tools did you have in mind?
