For systems that hang or take intolerably long to shutdown, I typically do:

     systemctl --force [poweroff|reboot]
From the man page, this means that "shutdown of all running services is skipped, however all processes are killed and all file systems are unmounted or mounted read-only, immediately followed by the powering off."
