That’s purely down to how you choose to implement it--it has nothing to do
with the format--and meaning--of those unit files themselves. Nobody can stop you from writing bad code to parse a good format.

I'm skeptical of the flexibility being lost. Perhaps it is possible but Ada
was specified competitively. Had Linux init been handled competitively then
I doubt they would have attempted and failed to move away from scripts
entirely. Likely openrc, runit or a new init system would have succeeded.
In my experience init scripts are made entirely of simple commands that
are documented and editable, piece by piece.

sysvinit scripts are full of boilerplate sections that users regularly copy and paste from one to the next, without thinking too much about what they do.
SysV init scripts are quite horrid but OpenBSDs rc system is far more
transparent, flexible and nicer to work with than systemd.
