Is systemd + its services and timer files, bigger than sysvinit, cron, atd, pm2/forever, previous device managers, all the various bash scripts, and everything else it replaces?

I don't know either way. I'm just not completely sure Systemd is bigger.

But when the bash scripts and pipes break, it’s easier to isolate the broken component vs grepping through the systemd monorepo.

Sure. But bash scripts and pipes break way, way more often then a .service file does.
