For what is worth, you also don't need to specify neither /dev nor /proc in fstab with systemd. I'm not sure the init system has anything to do with it, though; I believe is udev work, so with a recent version of udev, no matter the init system (I think), /dev and /proc are unnecessary (and perhaps even problematic) in /etc/fstab.
