I don't think what CoreOS / Ubuntu or any other distro uses as default is a valid argument here. I'm sure networkd is stable, but then for most of the cloud use cases of a single wired eth interface using a virtio driver running dhcp you could write a small bash script and have it be perfectly stable too.
