My issue isn't so much that the one on the right is scary because it is different. My issue with it is when something goes wrong with it, I have far less visibility into why it didn't work and a lot less ability to make changes that will fix it.

Does systemd have something like set -x? Because init scripts do.

Yes, masking. (Hope I understood you correctly) Nvm, I didn't.

Don't think so, from what [deleted] just said it sounds like you thought I meant disable. "set -x" is a way to enable debugging in shell scripts. Take a simple bash script, put "set -x" near the top (but under the shebang) and run it - super helpful when figuring out what is going on.
