It's not about claiming here, it's about experiences.
I guess we should open up a youtube channel for filming our most catastrophic experiences with systemd, because otherwise somebody will claim again that its brokeness is just a claim ...
Anecdotal evidence is useless.
What you're suggesting is basically spreading FUD. Your article didn't point out a single actual issue with systemd.
I run large scale VM infrastructure on a systemd distro (RHEL, in particular) and I've yet to encounter a single issue that was caused by systemd or, for that matter, any issue with systemd that wasn't easily resolved.
That doesn't mean that there aren't any. Also, FUD (as I understand it) is people spreading unfounded rumours, not people documenting their own experiences and problems with a piece of software. The intent is incomparable.
If you are actually interested in tangible structural flaws in systemd, look no further:

Also, see how Poettering handled this zero day (Which grants root to any user with a numeral): https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6237 HINT: He doesn't think it's a bug...
The fact that this even fucking exists in the first damn place: https://latesthackingnews.com/2017/06/29/a-systemd-vulnerabi...

This formulation may be misunderstood. The bug did not grant users root rights, it ignored the user= setting on a service if the service was intended to run as a user stating with a numeral. So you already needed to be root to create a service. The bug allows a service to run with more permissions than intended though.
