could you provide a little bit of background why you consider both "Systemd on Linux, openrc/sysv-rc on non-Linux" and "Upstart everywhere" viable long-term but not "systemd on Linux and upstart on !Linux"?
As a porter, I'd slightly prefer we switch to OpenRC on GNU/kFreeBSD. But, if Upstart were chosen as the default on Debian GNU/Linux, that might be sufficient to change my mind; we could stay more closely in sync with the Linux ports and avoid so much duplication of effort that way. So, I would agree exactly with what Andi said.

I suspect that init job/service/script/"thingy" writers would prefer a systemd-OpenRC combo as well, because they are both dependency based and the logic of the "thingy" can be more easily transferred to the other format.
