If I wasn't fine with it I'd hardly be running Gentoo.  :)  You just
described half of the distro, though it isn't changing as rapidly as
it used to.

Most of the issues are in the init scripts, which technically aren't
really part of systemd.  It is fairly immature everywhere.  If you
want a really stable experience then you should probably stick with
RHEL or Debian Stable.  :)

Sounds like you didn't really need one.  It is a free country - you're
no more required to run systemd than any Gentoo developer is required
to fix openrc init scripts or systemd units...
