"shutdown" (or equivalently "systemctl reboot" and friends) does do that via wall, exactly like sysvinit. This works here, and we even have automatic test cases to verify this. This doesn't work very well with the "reboot" command as this does not take a "delay time" argument like shutdown. Normally, on a system with multiple/remote users its polite to do something like "shutdown -r 5" so that they have a chance to finish their stuff. But none of this is specific to systemd. Can you confirm that "shutdown 5" is not showing wall messages for you, or is this just a misunderstanding?
