Systemd is stable and can get the job done, I don’t love how it does it, but I accept that it’s a reasonable choice.
Something need/s/ed to replace X11. The fact that I still can’t autohotkey in Wayland is fucking insane. 9/10 of my current issues in Linux are Wayland-related. We’re being corralled into wayland as distros drop X11 and I don’t have time to keep chasing that fox.
Wayland enforces security to stop one process sniffing or injecting input into another. X11 basically has zero security boundaries. So certain things are easier in X11, but then again the price to pay is too much.
So things like virtual mouse positioning, autohotkey, screen capture are harder to do but not insurmountable. It requires protocols that the client / desktop understand and which are fit for purpose. Big desktops like GNOME & KDE Plasma do support xdg-desktop-portal which allows hotkeys to be registered with the desktop, and could potentially be what you need.
Systemd and Wayland have become ragebait for some people.

I know. My simple criteria is pretty simple: Does my computer boot and show me pretty pictures of kittens after it boots. If it does, I do not care.
