I don't understand the hate systemd gets honestly, except around some very corner concerns. I remember the old init systems and don't want to go back. Piles of shell scripts with absolutely no standardization, each doing its own thing with zero consistency. Systemd has massively cleaned up that mess and yes it's more complex, but also more sane. I don't find the FreeBSD init an improvement.
Nobody is forcing SELinux on you, you can turn it off and that's that.
If you're on a Red Hat based system most of policy is there out of the box, providing you with pretty nice additional protection without too much tinkering.
