Wait till you do have an issue or even just want to disable one of the 'helpful closely coupled' services something works to better fit what ever you doing or for security/reliability reasons (D-Bus is a great example for me).

It's difficult to avoid systemd at this point and it's not because it's the best technical solution for all use cases in the same way that modern windows is a complete shit show but still everywhere.

My question would be what does systemd do that is not possible outside of openrc and launching what ever daemons you want for the tasks you want or combining it with what ever programs you want to do things like sand-boxing or containerization? Not saying openrc is a panacea but systemd is definitely not either and for many systems is just plain annoying, I can consed for people who want a normal desktop (plug and play distro experiences) experience it can provide that.
