I switched to systemd when Arch switched and from the get go, it was massively easier to parallelise with systemd than with the old system and that was with an HDD.

Systemd already parallelises by default so I don't know what insanely strange things you were doing but I fail to see how it could bring boot time form 11s to 1 minute. Also, it's very easy to get a list of every services enabled with systemctl (systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled) so I don't really know what your point about a giant graph is.

Running things in parallel isn't going to make the disk faster... with a HDD I'd think it is actually even more likely to make the disk slower.

We don’t have to talk in hypotheticals here. Booting time benchmarks from the time systemd was released are everywhere and showed shorter boot times. It was discussed ad nauseam at the time.
