I take it you don't have encrypted disks then, because with them
Stretch will hang on shutdown if you aren't using systemd as the init
process [1], that was the reason I finally gave in and installed
systemd when I upgraded to Stretch. The nail in the coffin was the
comments linked to from that bug report where udev upstream maintainers
said they don't support non-systemd init (udev is part of the systemd
project now).
