Get rid of the Realtek network adapter.
I agree. Realtek is second-tier and can be a real pain even on Windows,
depending on the product and version.
Receiving a stamp of "Windows compatible" doesn't make a piece of
hardware a good example of being "PC compatible" and playing well with
other OSes. PC compatible doesn't really exist, so it is better to focus
on brands that are 1) known for quality and 2) have good
relations/popularity with the FOSS community.
@Drew,
Are you still using the Dell T5500? I noticed that Dell certifies it
(only) for RHEL, which is a server OS. Ubuntu certified a number of Dell
T-series workstations according to their HCL, but they skipped over the
T5500 for some reason?

One thing you should consider is running with Intel or AMD graphics.
Nvidia have a bad compatibility record and I wonder if that is the main
factor in your screensaver lockups.
As for systemd, its not as big or complex as you seem to think. And it
makes Linux run /much/ better on PCs. I can imagine a future where a
dom0 Linux has many fewer systemd modules, but not going back to init.
