I have this problem with Ubuntu 18.04 system set up with 'encrypted LVM' (standard Ubuntu recipe as per the alternate installer). Whenever there is systemd upgrade it hangs (whole machine crashes - other logins not possible) and has to be manually rebooted (which is not ideal as the machine is 1500 miles away). Note the installed version of systemd seems to be 237-3ubuntu10.42, obviously I am unable to update it.
I have another machine also Ubuntu 18.04 system set up with 'encrypted LVM' which has systemd 237-3ubuntu10.43 and does not have this problem.

The u-u-side fix is tracked in LP: #1778219. [Regression Potential] * The daemons, shipped in deb:systemd, are not attempted to be restarted because despite package installation the system is in the middle of shutting down. This means that currently running daemons may be helding up open files on the filesystem, however all process are being stopped and killed as part of shutdown. Hence the worst possible regression from this, is an unclean shutdown, but even that shouldn't happen with this update.
