Reading about systemd, it seems it is not well liked and reminiscent of Microsoft's "put everything into the Windows Registry" (Win 95 onwards).
Is there a practical alternative to omnipresent, or invasive, systemd ?
The answer to this is no, replacing systemd with something else is just way to invasive.
Since new versions of CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Arch, Mageia and other Linux distros are all switching to systemd as the default .. I would suggest that learning how to use it is going to be the way to go.
I just hope that the distribution of implementing systemd are not so shortsighted (or rather pushing force) as Fedora/RHEL and besides him also offer other alternative (OpenRC is IMO very good candidate, although with sysvinit and upstart I was also satisfied - both did _reliably_ their jobs).
