I can verify both these work. I've been running two versions of
Stretch in VirtualBox on a Wheezy host. No problems. I even added
runit supervision to the sysvinit one, and it works without problems.
Didn't remove anything systemd. Just left it for dependenies. Both
new inits survive update/upgrades even if systemd components are
upgraded.
