There's no real problem with running from any type of flash, as the performance of SD cards is comparable to how an SSD behaves. While it may be slower (a lot), the readahead performance characteristics are identical (seek times are ~ zero). I have not seen any problems running systemd from an SD card or USB flash storage, and I don't expect there to be any.
