I'm not sure when Fedora switched to the current tigervnc systemd-based

I've been using tigervnc to log in to an Ubuntu box, and it was simple to
set up tigervnc on Ubuntu for remote access. I just tried the same on Fedora
and was informed that launching vncserver was "deprecated", and pointed
towards the documentation for Fefora's systemd-based configuration.
Reading through that, the following limitation is a showstopper for me:
# # Limitations

That's a no-go for me. My Fedora system is configured to automatically log
into a graphical desktop. This won't work for me, then.
This is not a limitation on Ubuntu. It's too bad that Fedora cannot do the
same.
With systemd, configured VNC Servers are started at boot, so unless you
are adding new users without configuring VNC, you shouldn't need to start
a server from a GUI session. I find, however, that I rarely need VNC as
web-based remote systems (e.g., Rstudio server, Jupyter) meet my needs.
