Systemd has only one advantage, which is also it's prime disadvantage: It's paws are everywhere in your system. Before there was Systemd, init systems worked okay too - in that space nothing was changed by it.

Every company I worked at (before systemd was mainstream) was running most of their services under supervisord[1] which was started by initv.

I'm not sure initv "worked okay".

init scripts were "great" if you were a unix wizard. For mere mortals they were frustrating.
