Many have tried this. Web search "uselessd".

But your suggestion becomes much more valuable if expressed as
"sniffing what each init system tried to do, and then deciding whether
or not to do it".

* Busybox init
* Epoch
* OpenRC
* Runit
* s6 (plus s6-rc)
* Suckess init plus [daemontools | runit | s6]
* systemd
* sysvinit

If you mean the daemon reports back to the process supervisor success
or failure, s6 has that now, in a much simpler form than systemd's
dbus-centered bizarro. And such reporting isn't all that necessary
because the admin can roll his own tests.

If you mean do this research and report the research results back to
the systemd project, I'm not interested in helping systemd, and systemd
isn't interested in anything making them more interoperative.
