Great to know!

I can't tell you how much I'd like to try it, and resume teaching
newbies grsecurity hardening, only in Devuan. But, poor health and other
problems...

Also, I'm really happy to see that you cater for users who want no-dbus
(nor other poetterware). Recommended you the other day over on Gentoo
Forums (like that I haven't already in many occasions spoke about my
hopes in the Devuan projects):

Uninstalling dbus and *kits (to Unfacilitate Remote Seats)

(just search for string Devuan)
