Thanks, I believe that answers my question. I've already seen Devuan running more or less like this, and it seemed to do okay. I am not "against" systemd for ideological reasons; I only want my system to run smoothly and efficiently, not to hang up, that kind of thing; and something like this would seem to be my solution, at least temporarily. As for getting off-topic, I will drop it for now, as I have got my own answer, and leave others to work out these other issues that don't concern me.
