I ran into this issue a while ago.  I ended up enabling dhcpcd so that
it was launched by my target.  Since I just wanted dhcp that worked.

There is probably a better solution, and perhaps more recent versions
of systemd addresses this issue (I set it up a good year ago I think).

More recently I had issues with an NFS share needed by a service and
struggling with how to express that dependency (since the unit for the
mount is created by a generator).  For whatever reason it was also
trying to mount the share before running dhcp (even though the share
was tagged with _netdev, and obviously nfs will depend on the network
in general).  I'm sure that is all related to my network issues in
general.

So, overall I'd say it is a bit rough around the edges, but quite
capable.  I really liked how systemd handles fileshares, at least in
principle.
