Sure, that's the recommended way...

Probably that is the case. In fact I sure can take your word that it is.
I mostly agree with your opinions which I read in Devuan ML. You're
credible enough. (It probably depends on what you do with it, in my
minimal use, just backup and restore, if face cloning my systems, to be
truthful, I don't have those issues. But that does not mean I recommend
anything systemd-based.)

But it seems you present Sysresccd as a typical Gentoo install, and that
it reflect the acceptance if systemd in Gentoo, is that the case?

If it is, you are wrong (in your presenting of Sysresccd as being
typical for Gentoo).

Sysresccd is not recommended as a live system to use, to newbies in
Gentoo Installation guide, since a few years ago. It was previously,
maybe 5 or so years ago. Not anymore.
