If you put it in systemd, it won't hold up login. I can often ssh into
systems before the whole boot finishes. I don't remember if the login: on
the console was affected.
I did Solaris 10 until about 5 years ago. They replaced SysV init with SMF
which did dependency checking, etc. Crucially,
+1 for me also. When things like this change, we must also change with it.

If it isn't a daemon and just something that's gotta be done once after a
power outage I've used CRON's @REBOOT. Especially for non-root users.
If your system is using systemd, don't use rc.local. rc.local is not
deterministic in systemd. I've had to move everything out of rc.local and
learn systemd to get reliable starting.
I created something like this (run_on_boot.service)
[Unit]
Description=Run at startup
After=network.target
