Also look at the systemd interface stability chart under the "Reimplementable Independently" column;
You will see that many systemd tools are made so they can be independently implemented by others.
Will some of the systemd tools obsolete other tools? Most likely, but I wouldn't worry; tools gets replaced all the time with better solutions, so some systemd tools are also likely to be out-competed by externally made tools.
