Systemd-boot and the service files and timers are pretty neat. Works fine as an init too I guess
Anything that lets me avoid the aberration that is Grub is great.

I don't hate systemd, but I prefer OpenRC and usually use it on my Debian systems. My preference is purely vibes based though, and I think most of the anti-systemd arguments in common usage are a bit silly.
My biggest problem with systemd is that Red Hat has basically used it to push their-way-or-the-highway on many Linux distros. That said, in many situations systemd is better than what came before. Except systemd-networkd. It's a PITA as far as I'm concerned.
What are your issues with networkd?
I find it hard to deal with. I generally end up writing a new plan file and just rendering that to networkd.
systemd-network is great on servers. I use it on every machine that isn't on wifi
