I have to run some scripts at the end of the boot process to establish various

would be the right place for this.

My research revealed several solutions with conflicting recommendations:
(a)
There is - also in Fedora - systemd-rc-local service. In the man file it is 
advised not to use it. A Fedora default installation also does not completely 
create the necessary directory structure. And if one wants to execute this 
service as far as possible at the end of the boot process, further adjustments 
are necessary.

(b)
There is the DIY suggestion to create a service of one's own, and to place it 
as far as possible at the end of the system start.

(c)
A suggestion is to insert in the root-crontab at the end
@reboot systemctl start ….

The latter seems to be the most reliable solution at the moment.



/etc/rc.local must be set executable

If I remember correctly, systemd will execute rc-local.service which checks for /etc/rc.local then checks if it is executable. If so, it executes /etc/rc.local.
