The main issue is that anything local mounted in /etc/fstab (even
removable drives) will be treated as essential, and if they are not
there, boot will fail. The answer is either to remove any such drives
from fstab, as the kernel automounting should be good enough now to do
the job consistently, or to mark them as not being required for boot.
The fstab syntax for systemd has been extended quite a bit.
But yes, I moved three sid systems from sysvinit to systemd, the two
simpler systems were fine, the much larger main workstation
installation had sufficient minor problems that I felt it better to
reinstall. Not something you want to do with a server.
