systemd has not been a PITA for me.  Basic services work out of the 
box.  Just a few new commands to learn.  Unless the OP is using VMs, and 
only that to some extent do you really have to deal with it.

SELinux can be a bigger challenge to learn what the magic incantation is 
for a specific usage.
