Which version of systemd are you using?

In current versions (since 239) this should work fine. Please upgrade
(or ask your distro to backport
617d253afad10ca9c7861eb3a2b381a8f95cf4ad.

You might be able to do the following though:

   IOSchedulingClass=be
   CPUSchedulingPolicy=other

which are the default values. I didn't test that though, I am not sure
if the kernel will let you set the parameters to the values already
set without complaining.

Alternatively, just copy the unit file from /usr/lib to /etc, and
comment the relevant lines. That way you override the whole file.
