Just a guess, but would it be possible to disassemble the installation
script's package and comment out the systemd parts and then replace the
unit file manually with an appropriate service script? I followed the
link but could not spot the actual package to check there.

Last I checked, which was a while ago, Cisco's VPN products lagged in
regards to the encryption they used. I've since concluded that Cisco is
never chosen for security, but for other not so good reasons. If
security (confidentiality, integrity, availability) were a concern, then
OpenVPN or, better yet, Wireguard would be deployed instead. Price is
an area where Cisco fares poorly, too. Grumbling aside, do the people
standing in for what was once the IT department have support for either
OpenVPN or Wireguard? It'd be worth asking even if the answer is, "no".
