I like having my system boot faster because systemd takes care of lazily mounting my hard drives in the background.

Ironically, boot times is one place where these days systemd lags sadly behind. At least in my experience (Rocky/Redhat, Void, Ubuntu, Alpine).

My openrc based system boots in seconds, I don't think I ever noticed a performance difference to systemd.

Also, any init system can do lazy mounting without having the fstab file becoming a farce.
