There still is choice. It's just harder to find and/or use, unfortunately.
We have the sys-fs/eudev package that forked udev and re-split it out of
systemd. That might satisfy your need for a clean replacement of the
standard udev w/o modifying any custom device rules and such that you might
have.
There's also the option of using busybox's mdev as well, although it's a lot
more limited and no where near as configurable as udev/eudev is. But for
some, it works perfectly (like me).
