Not sure if disabling sysv support is good idea.

Without knowing too much about Gentoo and simply looking at what the
Gentoo handbook has to say about Gentoo init scripts [1],
why don't you simply provide an /sbin/runscript implementation which
works with systemd?
That's probably the way I would try to tackle this.
Or is your plan to rip all native Gentoo init scripts at once and
replace them with native systemd service files and have a flag day?
I don't think such an approach will provide a maintainable and smooth
transition.

Just my 2¢
