Are you sure you actually *want* to use systemd to start it? It doesn't really seem like the best choice to me. For one thing, when you start it from a user's crontab with @reboot, it runs as the correct user automatically. I don't know how systemd knows which user to start the VNC session as. Maybe I just don't understand the concept of a "standalone (VNC) server". I've got some workstations with tightvncserver installed, and I've got two sessions running on each workstation, as two separate user accounts. Each one is started from the user's crontab file, with a customized resolution for each human user.
