As a n00b to init systems, who has recently started using Upstart with Ubuntu in production...should I switch to Systemd? What are the pros/cons over Upstart? Is there anything inherently flawed about the robustness of Upstart?

There's nothing wrong with Upstart and it's pretty easy to use. I've got a little wiki page with some examples here:

Since Ubuntu decided to migrate in the future to systemd [1] you may consider it as a good investment
