The background here is: ExecStartPre= is for preparation of the environment of the following ExecStart=. But that cannot include any background processes. As soon as the main process of ExecStartPre= exit()s, all things that the main process has possibly started in the background will be forcefully killed by systemd. The entire cgroup where ExecStartPre= runs in will be cleaned up. Maybe your stuff is killed before it can even really start? ExecStartPre= cannot be used to start _any_ processes. If that is required for your tools, the things from ExecStartPre= should move into its own additional service file, and that one pulled in by the main service.
