That seems like a rather dangerous technical choice, in that systemd
(or, more precisely, its developers) seem hell-bent on engulfing more
and more functionality into systemd, and related code - to the extent of
writing publicly about their goals to radically change, engulf, and
devour Linux as we know it (that's only a mild exaggeration - I suggest
folks actually read Lennart Poettering's blog, at
http://0pointer.net/blog/).

Between its monolithic nature, changing API's (making things like
systemd-shim a time-sink to maintain), and radical divergence from
traditional Unix design philosophy, supporting systemd in Devuan might
be a very dangerous choice. You know, the whole "camel's nose under the
tent...." thing.
