And of course, that's not at all what running systemd user services is about.  

Its possible to have systemd start up a separate systemd process for each user, 
to manage user-based services (such as your example), but run outside of your 
login session, with all the resource management/cgroups and logging features 
you get with systemd.  

I'm not really thrilled with the service, though. Since it operates outside of 
user login sessions, anyone who uses homedirs that require network 
authentication (such as NFS w/ sec=krb5 or OpenAFS) can't use it at all, since 
it looks in ~user/.config/systemd/ for services.
