/var/run/$name.pid is the standard pid file location for daemons and has been so

Right, so why not just configure the daemon to stop writing the pid file
at all?
From systemd.service(5):
PIDFile=
Takes an absolute file name pointing to the PID file of this
daemon. Use of this option is recommended for services where
Type= is set to forking. systemd will read the PID of the main
process of the daemon after start-up of the service.
If Type=forking is set and PIDFile is unset, systemd will try to guess
the PID of the main daemon process. I'm not sure what the guessing
strategy is but specifying the PIDFile explicitly is probably safer,
particularly for daemons which spawn >1 processes.
