One thing you can't do with Systemd is write a simple shell script
that runs when the system finishes booting, without having to learn
any of the ins and outs of Systemd.

Sure you can. Just have a “WantedBy” dependency in your service
definition on whichever target represents the state you want the script
to run in, e.g. “multi-user.target” for normal system operation.

 
Or use @reboot in your crontab.

In systemd, timer definitions have to do with time, not to do with whether
the system is rebooting. (Though you can define time relative to when the
system starts, if you want.)

This is a cleaner approach than crontab, which is trying to stuff a number
of different functions into an ill-fitting box.
