I don't know SuSE, and I don't know systemd, but Debian solved this problem years ago. They use udev hooks. Specifically, there is a file named /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules that holds the MAC address of each interface, and the desired interface name for it. I don't personally know all the details of how it works, because I never NEEDED to learn them. Perhaps you should get in touch with a SuSE mailing list and see how other SuSE users have dealt with this. You might be reinventing the wheel.
