I've used both systemv and systemd professionally. They both have flaws. I have had fewer issues with systemd(albeit I have a system that rarely doesn't start up its target program after a restart, but it's managed so it's not a problem and just gets a manual start). Individual experiences may vary obviously but overall your comment supports the GP assertion of a vocal minority.

So nobody can express their frustrations with it without being written off as just a "vocal minority"? That's pretty sad, in my opinion.

Others may not vocalise the issues, to which I believe happens to more people than those who do vocalise the matter, doesn't mean it's works well. It works at best.

Is it possible to tell the difference between a demographic minority of people who are (all/largely) vocal, and a demographic majority of which only a small number are vocal?

Generally people like to complain; if everyone says something is bad, usually it is, and if most people aren't complaining, but consistent voices do, then it's an indicator of individual rather than widespread issues.
