My crude idea was to set an selinux label on /var to preventing anything from being created there, and then see what explodes. But I'm not quite sure what chcon command to use. Obviously I'd have to do this on /var when nothing is mounted to it.

systemd has something that's kinda like the old sysvinit 'interactive'
step-through mode:

systemd.confirm_spawn=true

this may help you if you can find a way to also have a console active
while you're stepping through the boot.
