Out of curiousity, what was the actual problem, and how did systemd make 
it worse?

You forgot the "how much work do you want to do in order to adminster 
it" question.   Also, you didn't exactly say what you actually wanted to 
do -- is it a server, a workstation, do you need modern multimedia 
stacks, does hardware come and go routinely, etc etc.  Those questions 
are rather critical.
