I've been quite happy with -boot, -networkd, -resolved. -logind too, what a powerful upshift in routing input.

I forget what but timesync is missing a lot of nice to haves. But ditching grub for something much much much more manageable & a joy to use. Networkd and resolved have both had a lot of nice clear straightforward options, and I love how systemd unit files snap together for these networking concerns.

Journald has been ok for me, and I use it a lot, but not intensively. Having adequate performance is definitely a huge concern.

systemd-resolved is a godsend.

I run, at home and at work, vpns and having a good way to configure split-horizon dns is incredibly useful.

At a previous company we were able to ship a binary that would automatically configure a bunch of company settings on developers' linux laptops and got VPN configurations working with split-horizon dns very easily.

prior to this, doing split-horizon dns on linux basically meant running dnsmasq (!!!) on every linux laptop
