More importantly, CoreOS uses systemd to monitor/control the instances
inside containers like systemd-nspawn does, only in a more general and
powerful way.

I don't think you can currently run the CoreOS host with anything
other than systemd, and to make it so it would be a lot of work. From

Within the CoreOS world, you will almost exclusively use systemd to
manage the lifecycle of your Docker containers.
