If you install tigervnc-server it comes with
/usr/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
This has a header comment which starts like that:
# The vncserver service unit file
#
# Quick HowTo:
# 1. Copy this file to /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
# 2. Edit <USER> and vncserver parameters appropriately
# ("runuser -l <USER> -c /usr/bin/vncserver %i -arg1 -arg2")
# 3. Run `systemctl daemon-reload`
# 4. Run `systemctl enable vncserver@:<display>.service`
#
.....
(and quite a bit more of relevant informations). I did not try that
myself but I do not see why this should not work.

Yeah; systemd actually allows to pass various configuration details via
"enviroment files" but a general tendency and apparently heavily
encouraged is to make this "copy and edit". Personally I am finding
that quite idiotic and detrimental to a long run maintenance. With an
every update you should check now if something did not change you need
to take care of. Multiply that by a number of such "hand configured"
services and here you are. An alternative is configure such a thing
once, forget it, and try to guess what is happening when in the future
something goes screwy.
