The major remaining hurdle for systemd is containers, right now there's no great solution for systemd inside Docker.

How much of systemd _can_ work inside containers, or similarly limited non-pid-1 environments? I understand that some functionality will be limited, but it seems that most of the core functions should work?

systemd works great inside many containers such as Incus, nspawn, WSL2, and more. The requirements for container managers are defined at: https://systemd.io/CONTAINER_INTERFACE/

I am pretty sure that systemd just works these days in podman. No modifications or adjustments needed afaiu. No idea about docker, but if it doesnt work there that's probably because docker maintainers have some political issues with systemd, not for technical reasons. But i guess docker is kinda dead these days for actual deployments, no? It's all a kubernetes or podman world these days and docker is only used on some developer laptops, mostly for people with non-linux background?

Nah, docker is still used in Linux. For developers and servers. Not that much within kubernetes, but it's still used.
