One reason to switch to systemd is that you no longer need to implement a
random delay in your own script to reduce server load from lots of client
scripts slamming the server at the top of the hour. See the
RandomizedDelaySec and FixedRandomDelay options in the timer help.
There's a metaphor about babies and bathwater around here somewhere.
IMHO this is a pretty unconvincing reason to change your init system,
especially to one which is both as new as systemd, and as capable of
stupidity on a scale never before seen in any init system. A couple
of examples here (the wanton renaming of Ethernet interfaces and, to
the amazement of all concerned, the killing of an ext3 fsck boot job
because it took longer then 90 seconds) both necessitated trips to
remote sites to recover from the installation of systemd by Debian's
packaging system during the upgrade to 'Buster'.
Be very sure you've tested the new setup if you switch to systemd.
Personally, I avoid it like covid-19.
