I just want to say that I love systemd. Working with services and timers is just a pleasure. Handling dependencies is sooo much easier. This is just my opinion, but yeah, I can't imagine dealing with SysV in 2025.

This confuses me. I have a terrible experience each and every time I try to make a unit fine. To be fair, it's often a long time between each time I do

I had similar issue. Every time I was writing a systemd file, I would have forgotten what I previously learned.

These days I just make deepseek/changpt do it. 90% of the time they get it right. Even if they get it wrong, you end up with a file that will be perfect with a line or two changes.
