Yes.

I just want the timer to fire and be handled in the process where it's needed, regardless if the system is suspended or not completely transparently. Waked doesn't help with that. I certainly don't want a special daemon that I have to register with over a complicated protocol (d-bus) in addition to having to manage the timers in app when it can be avoided just by passing a single flag to timerfd_create which will work universally and will not depend on systemd.

Spliting alarms into a deamon and UI shell is kinda pointless unless some other app would need access to alarms. But that would be a different service than waked in any case. Waked doesn't handle timers.
