It might be trivial for you, but not for me. I like systemd - perhaps because I came to Linux from AIX? Anyway, because I like it, I use it on all 4 of my servers - I have custom systemd unit files for applications I run that don’t natively support it, I’ve removed cron and use systemd timers for all my scheduling and I use systemd’s remote journal capability to centralise logs to my monitoring server.
if you are not used to it you will have to learn it… that goes both ways…
and all the functionality you need were already in normal initfiles, cron and rsyslogd
my main issue with systemd always has been, that it centralises stuff that does not relate to each other into one single program instead of keeping it seperate and as simple as possible
