While I don't think this was related to the init system, I have had a Linux box completely hang while trying to reboot it because an NFS server that it was connected to went away. I'm pretty sure this was an infinite hang as it sat like that for over five days before I could physically get to it to hit the power button.

Hanging during reboot is something that, IMO, should never happen.

Yup, I'm guessing NFS too (see my sibling reply).

In my anecdotal experience that's the _only_ case where systemd has failed to reboot, and it's not exactly systemd's fault that the kernel just hangs indefinitely.
