Why, precisely, do you foresee future problems with embedded systems
development? Personally, I'm looking forward to a much easier time
building future embedded systems using systemd, or the occasional
too-small-for-anything-else embedded system (that couldn't run standard
sysvinit or Debian for that matter) using a dedicated
init=/custom-program.
If you've actually evaluated systemd for embedded systems applications
and run into issues, please consider filing bug reports or raising
issues on the upstream mailing list; that's a use case I'm interested in
as well, and I'd be happy to help.
