Sure, and it involves *not* using tmpfiles.d.
I cannot know for sure, but yes, it is likely that it *is* a race
condition – tmpfiles.d being run before the relevant module gets
inserted, device gets detected, or whatever. And the usual way for
working with events like device detection is to write an udev rule
that triggers after that specific device has appeared:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="backlight",
KERNEL=="acpi_video0", ATTR{brightness}="10"
(I'm not 100% sure if the KERNEL match is correct. The rest should work.)
