I use iceweasel - on my wheezy laptop currently (but that's only because
it's a pain to change and losing NetworkManager will hurt because it
made vpn's easy and we don't have any easy systemd free replacement for
that yet).

Your biggest security risk is the web browser, and given that systemd
security risks/protections are relatively unknown I'd suggest that
Devuan Jessie is a much more known quantity and secure then Debian
Jessie, and very much on par if not better then Debian Wheezy.
