I think the name of this option is not very descriptive and imho it
could be useful in a more general way. What do you think about using

ExecStartOnFailure=/some/cmd (send an email or what not)

If Restart=on-failure is not set, this command is executed when the
starting the service has failed.
If Restart=on-failure is set, this command is executed after all
restart retries have failed.

Cheers,
Michael
