In point of fact:
- I run several hundred Debian stretch systems without systemd
running as init, or doing very much otherwise.
"apt install sysvinit-core" was all that is needed.
- Those are almost all servers, but also includes some desktops.
- The debian-init-diversity mail archives are here:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/pipermail/debian-init-diversity/2019-March/thread.html
and you can see that good work is being done on sysvinit,
startpar, insserv and elogind.
I don't know why this doesn't get more publicity.
If you are having problems with systemd and they feel intractable,
it's perfectly reasonable to go back to sysvinit, and it's only a little
work to move to openrc and a moderate amount to use completely different
init systems.
