I don't think I have the best grasp of your entire problem, but the
challenge of '... stop to wait for all of the children to gracefully
exit', is something I had needed to address in an earlier thread:

  https://marc.info/?l=systemd-devel&m=172790019413449&w=4

Basically, if you have the means to poll for 'children have exited' or
'prior PID has exited', then you can add that as a second command
in your ExecStop, to cause this stage to block until that has
occurred.
