I'm pretty sure everyone has settled by now, Personally I hate systemd. It's slow, relatively resource intensive, poorly designed in many aspects.

but as an init and service manager it's the best. Though I do have to say dinit does get pretty close for me now.

I personally use Arch on my desktop and artix on my laptop. I want Systemd to die just as much as the next Systemd hater, but unfortunately I don't believe we have anything better yet.

It is faster on modern hardware due to heavy optimization

can't say I have experienced that. I use a myriad of modern but lower end systems and stuff like dinit still uses less resources and is in turn better for the speed and responsiveness of my systems

I've run systemd on a system with 32mb of memory and a Pentium II. It was not the bottle neck and it booted right up.
