It looks like systemd 256 will officially debut as stable in the near future with systemd 256-rc3 being released today and not tacking on any new features compared to the prior release candidates.

Systemd 256 is bringing with it run0 as a sudo alternative, systemd-vpick and importctl as new tools, the systemd-ssh-generator, better OpenSSL 3.x support, systemd-uikfy now supports Zboot kernels, continued systemd-homed enhancements, a new systemd.crash-action option, a new journal.storage credential, "systemctl kill --wait", and many other changes.
