Because of the ubiquity, nay, monopoly of systemd I always assumed it was miles ahead of other init systems. Nope. I’ve been using a non-systemd environment for a while and must say I’m surprised by how little breaks, i.e., next to nothing. Moreover, boot and shutdown times are faster, and more of that good stuff. I suggest trying it out.

    sysV init or sysV rc? OpenRC can work with any basic /sbin/init or provide its own. If you rely on sysV rc scripts there is probably some backwards compatibility, or at least was in older versions, but I don’t really see the point in it. What distro does even still use sysV rc?
