I think you'll get the most out of this at the moment if you're interested in actively contributing to systemd. There's lots of work left to be done to make this usable which will just be annoying if you aren't interested in fixing some of this stuff yourself.

Of course if you're interested in doing small prs and such to improve things then I think it could be very satisfying. You can always join the mkosi matrix channel to chat more about this stuff.
