    I completely agree that I try to use it in an "special" way
without having met all the requirements, that `systemd --system`
gracefully provides.

    Unfortunately I have no choice, as none of these requirements are
not documented... In the `systemctl` or `systemd` man-page there is no
single word about any D-BUS related configurations.

    P.S.: To be clearer on my intentions, I try to identify if systemd
is a good candidate as a process manager for an application composed
of multiple daemons. Thus when I deliver the application, I want to
also deliver it with an "embedded" systemd, and not force the client
to migrate to systemd.
