pulseaudio is *very rarely* run as a system service in the first place.
Whether it's systemd-based or not is irrelevant.

Most often it's managed at session level, e.g. started during login by
gnome-session, sometimes `systemctl --user`, but usually launched
automatically by libpulse.

That too, if I want to keep the binary in so if a user needs he can

You could set "autospawn = no" in pulse-client.conf(5).
