Agreed. One of mine is that the surety of being able to drop a lower runlevel and back up is gone. I have always managed my systems the way I learned in the early days (probably from SunOS) where level 2 was multi-user no NFS, level 3 added NFS (and possibly more), and level 5 was a GUI.

Sometimes it is very handy​ to be able to go down one or more levels to make changes or solve problems, then come back up. And it's much faster than rebooting beefy modern servers with their extensive hardware checks (or even Fedora on an older home computer).

For whatever faults it had, SysVInit handled this as well for me over the years as whatever had been in BSD. systemd does not- at least within Fedora and RHEL and its rebuilds.
