And still those server people complain that systemd feels more like its
geared for desktop machines. Noone cares how long it takes to boot a
server, and many server jockeys would love the possibility to turn off
the parallelism of systemd when booting (for reproducibility,
sacrificing speed).

I can’t see any option for doing that globally, but you could use drop-in
config files to temorarily force ordering on particular services that
might be giving you trouble, so you can properly debug their dependencies.
For example, I soon learned the difference between
“Requires=mysql.service” and “After=mysql.service”, and why, in my case, I
needed both ...

I have only been using systemd for more than half of a decade and
those pesky little things still get to me.
