Systemd is a security nightmare, a huge amount of code, taking over various network services ... poorly. Doesn't seem controversial at all to me. Gives me the heebie jeebies to think of systemd talking to the network before I even have the client firewall up.
Generally if security is your top priority I'd disable as much of systemd as possible. Things like find a good local resolver (like unbound) and disable systemd's implementation, etc.
