how does that make development less cross-platform compatible?

sorry but that is nonsense since you have to take care of special 
handling on other unix types too or just hope that it works there when 
no testing machines are available (see recent AIX topics and that nobody 
knows by lack of testing machines)

integration with systemd watchdogs is just anotehr small piece of code 
to make monitoring relieable in case a service didn't crash but no 
longer works and makes things less complx since you can replace 
additional monitoring tools

daemontools is a workaround for a broken init system which has no 
concept of what happend after fire up a service

a complete non-issue since journald (the part which takes care of early 
boot logging) don't need to wrote logs to disk as i does not on any of 
my machines which all use the rsyslog

$WorkDirectory /var/lib/rsyslog
$IMJournalStateFile imjournal.state

wrong, you just refuse to trying to understand it for many years

nonsense - besides that it's not default this are your friends

StartLimitIntervalSec=
StartLimitBurst=
StartLimitAction=

nonsense - that parts are completly optional to use

to make it short - i often don't agree with systemd developers, also in 
this case but when a default *option* where adjust it to your needs 
takes less to write than your whole paragraph about it i can't take it 
serious
