I have now figured it, the issue was caused by do-release-upgrade from 20.04lts to 22.04lts.
The issue came when it installed the new packages, but then there were duplicates of many many libraries, and I mean many. I had to run /usr/lib/usrmerge/convert-usrmerge manually until I have fixed all of them after finding which were the registered libraries, which took around 6 hours in total, so the bug isn't in systemd specifically, but rather the upgrade made a mess it couldn't repair. Because I set about repairing everything I have no point of reference now. Thank you for checking up though.
