Testing that it works on reboot is a good thing to test, but it is not the minimum necessary test.

I wonder if you are forgetting “systemctl daemon-reload”?  Unlike with SysV init, changes to /usr/lib/systemd/system don’t immediately take effect.  You have to tell systemd to reload the configuration files when they change.
