Have you seen Cockpit working on Devuan system?

It's more than that. Cockpit uses systemd's API not only to listen on
network socket, but also to manage services and other stuff.
Just starting Cockpit without systemd requires helpers like
https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/commit/777c59095af6147af487bf6a5aa76b915b2463d6
It probably not worth (or even feasible) reimplemnting all those APIs
for Cockpit.
