I have no experience with containers so forgive me if I'm missing something. Why couldn't you just have a 'microinit.rpm' in a separate dnf repo, put 'Obsoletes: systemd' into that package? This way people who are building hundreds of containers that do not require systemd can use the repo containing microinit and it will take the place of systemd. RPM macro's could be provided by the microinit rpm, so it would provide reasonable replacements for %systemd_requires, %systemd_post, etc. I think this could solve your concern with minimum (no) impact to bare metal installs.
because in that case a dependency of a package which really requires systemd would no longer work and it's only a dirty hack
"minimum (no) impact to bare metal installs" - how much bare metal installs have you seen where kernel-core is not present?
