I'm perfectly able to boot with systemd for one (some of my systems have
been booting with it for the past couple of months fine, thank you very
much), and I've booted with file-rc some ten years ago when I had that
kind of fancy.
That nobody supports them is a tiny bit of an exaggeration.
So, my point is: they're packaged, and they do work. If they don't, at
least both the systemd maintainer has been very helpful, so was its
upstream, and the few issues I had with unit files that didn't come with
systemd itself were also fixed by the relevant upstreams or maintainers.
I call that very well supported.
