I think most systemd criticism misses the point and revolves too much around usage semantics.
Systemd allows actual resource management on a level that simply didn't exist with traditional init [1]. Yes we can argue about implementation, but the necessity of better resource management in more dense and shared environments can't just be ignored, especially when building a shared VM hosting platform like the author is talking about.
