In order to run a service behind my reverse proxy I need to have a defined user with some kind of writeable home directory.
What "service"? What "reverse proxy"? What is "some kind of writeable"? Any directory chmod'ed to 222 would be "writaeable" by anybody (but you might need 666 to have anybody read it)
The easy choice to get started is to create a /home/apache directory for my apache user.
www-data (the "industry standard user") is most often not installed in /home. What documentation are you relying upon for your "easy choice"?
Is that safe or should I do something else?
Depends on user/group permissions -- again 222 is probably (but not guaranteed) safe but not very functional
I do have my systemd service file working, so I can create a new user for that purpose if need be.
If your computer actually boots to a usable interface, systemd is probably running...
