I don't know if importing systemd would make any difference to the system declaration file that you write, where you'd still declare services in the Lispy way. Does it matter if it translates to systemd services under the hood or not?

I think so, because that's what most people are familiar with maintaining/configuring. Systemd at this point is quite robust, and it's sprawling ecosystem has a lot of functionality. Perhaps more importantly, this is the stuff you'll find the most support/integrations for.
