Yes, it is.

At the moment %H and friends only work on Exec*, I think it would make
sense to extend it to work in more places (including Where=).

As Dave said, maybe a generator would be better.

I'm not able to reproduce this problem. I don't see the need for
sockets-pre.target. It should be possible to simply specify your mount
in /etc/fstab (obviously this only works in this test case, as the
hostname will be hardcoded), and all sockets should get ordered
correctly.

Could you try that (remember doing "systemctl daemon-reload" after
editing fstab) and then doing "systemctl show <problematic>.socket |
grep After" to see if it worked? If it did not, please post the socket
unit in question.

Cheers,

Tom
