Are there any comparisons of init systems that focus daily use metrics? Stuff like what writing scripts looks like and boot times and logging capabilities? (And any other use cases that are common)

I think if you’re at the point of poweruser where you’re deciding an init system, you probably should just try them out in VMs. It doesn’t have to take loads of time. Install an OS, try writing some basic services, try doing some basic config for your use-case.
For the vast majority of users, they’ll never have this problem, because they’ll just use whatever init system comes with their OS. I know some distros give init freedom, but most are locked in to one or another init. The fact that you have this problem suggests that either you’re using the wrong distro and should switch to one that chooses for you (or just pick based on one-line descriptions), or it’d be worth your time to spend a day or two poking around with the init systems under consideration in VMs.
