I don't think that dropping an architecture is necessary, patching systemd
should be viable.
Sysvinit had a lot of patches in the Debian package that weren't included
upstream for a long time. There's no reason why the same couldn't be done for
systemd.
It seems that cgroups is the main issue and systemd can already work without
them.

I think that they meant lighter in terms of not running shell scripts for lots
of things.
A fast boot time is quite important for embedded systems. I'm looking forward
to using systemd in a year or two for some embedded systems that I run.
