What exactly do you mean by "via special users", and why is that? Anything
that a "special user" can start, a .service unit can start directly too.
(Perhaps not the nicest-looking .service unit, but that is besides the
point.)

I am nowhere near being an Oracle database/anything admin, but we do have a
server successfully starting Oracle 11 XE via systemd and there haven't
been any problems with it for over two years. The only really special
config it needs is "RemoveIPC=no" in logind.conf...
