Change is difficult and there will be problems. On the other hand systemd is used by a lot of distros already and the alternatives either bitrot (sysv-init) or aren't really viable (OpenRC, etc.). Usually I'm not going with "the crowd" in my choices, but so far systemd has worked fine for me (according to my git log I made the switch last December) and I have no reason to even look at the alternatives.
