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)

Dood. Boot times are useless ‘flex’ metrics more influenced by processor and disk speed than init systems. My el5 and el6 archive systems boot faster than my el7 ELS system, which itself is faster than el9; but not by enough to matter when you’re booting every week to a month. It’s never BEEN an issue.
Compare complexity: Has your init system metastasized over the entire host and re-implemented (poorly) other core systems, so long-dependable features just simply don’t work, and everything has its own rinky-dink silly-walk to configure instead of
/etc/fstabor/etc/exports, instead of staying in its lane? No? You’re good. Diversity and specialization will give you excellent results and security. Yes? You have systemd.There’s your comparison.
