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, they kept support SysV init scripts and slowly converted from them to the SMF XML formats. Your 3rd party init scripts kept working. Since my S99 scripts never broke, I never had to convert them. It also took Sun until ~ 10.3 to get them working well. Systemd doesn't care about backward compatibility so stuff will break. Worse, some stuff, like rc.local has partial support (that they don't care about) and it will usually work like the docs say. I've hit issues with service vs systemctl. Ex: service mysql start vs systemctl start mysql. Service might *always* exit with status 3 regardless of success/failure. My shell scripts that depended on 0/not 0 had to be changed. That said, I've found systemd easier than SMF, especially if you abandon the old ways.
