Concur.  My systemd+UEFI media server at home has been flawless for the
past year.  Dipping my toes into a systemd server at work now.  The
claims that systemd works poorly are exaggerations at best.

For the one key feature systemd preached at the beginning, fast
parallelized boot, systemd is smashing success.  The other key feature,
service isolation using kernel control groups, simply works.

I'm still annoyed by the syntax reversal of systemctl, but it's not the
end of the world.

Apache, bind, nfs, ovirt, kerberos, sssd, and even gnome on the workstations all function exactly as required. Systemd does it's multifunction job very well.
