Depending on your setup, you many want to look at converting your automatic mounts into systemd mounts, and depend on that directly, rather than on the autofs service.

Just one little thing to note here that many don't realise. All mounts in the system (ie not manually via the mount command) are systemd mounts.
This isn't true for autofs, is it?
Finally autofs is made even easier with systemd as all you need to do to declare a mount autofs is x-systemd.automount in the options field and then it'll only be mounted on demand rather than at boot.
I mean, autofs using the traditional autofs....
I've not actually tested that tbh Matt ...
I expect that indeed that case it wouldn't work
But unless you need a complicated map arrangement I'd argue on EL7 you'd be better off using the fstab option to make the mount automount
