It's generally a better idea to convert it to a lower-order system (just
like one would do with PDEs).

deal.II isn't really made for ODEs. It can solve problems in 1d, but most
people probably use this functionality for boundary value problems. In any
case, there are definitely packages out there that are better suited to
solve ODEs than deal.II.
