This is precisely what it does, it waits until for the first time all
jobs have been dispatched.

Note that the command will output more than just a boolean:

    starting     → the first time all jobs have been dispatched has not been reached yet
    stopping     → a shutdown job has been queued
    running      → fully up and running in normal operation, and nothing failed
    maintenance  → up and running in rescue or emergency mode
    degraded     → fully up and running in normal operation, but at least one unit failed
