Seems to work here. I have just one sysvinit script:
$ ls /etc/init.d/
functions  network  README
$ systemctl list-unit-files 'network*'
UNIT FILE             STATE    
network.service       generated
...
$ systemctl cat network.service
# /run/systemd/generator.late/network.service
# Automatically generated by systemd-sysv-generator
...
$ systemctl start network<TAB> # autocompletes to network.service

$ systemctl --version
systemd 241 (v241-7.gita2eaa1c.fc30)
