I have the opposite opinion. Init scripts (upstart!) were reliable, transparent, consistent and manageable.
Systemd is none of those things.
Having said that, I have to additionally admit that init scripts had to go at a certain point. It's hard to imagine a modern scripts-based PID1. Times have changed.
