But systemd is the devil and makes nothing better, right?

Right?

The constant nagging by you systemd people worked. I’ve written a unit that does what I need it to do. That was more annoying than I think it needed to be, but well… my solution didn’t work at all.

AFAIK kernel itself doesn't send any signals to processes on shutdown/reboot, it just stops executing them. This is a job service manager (e.g. systemd) that terminates processes using SIGTERM before asking kernel to shutdown.
